MUS 2014 - Jazz Music in American Society (3)


When Offered: Fall; Spring; Summer Session
GEN ED: Fine Arts Designation; Liberal Studies Experience
Jazz may be the United States’ only original contribution to music. Due to its comparatively recent emergence as a recognized art form, a great deal of confusion exists as to the meaning, origins, development, and the place of jazz relative to other areas of music. This course will define jazz as precisely as possible and show its evolution in the historical background of the United States. Lecture three hours.
