How to Listen & Appreciate Jazz
|
What is jazz? Louis Armstrong purportedly said: If you have to ask, youll never know. Music scholar and distinguished professor Ted Buehrer conducts a captivating series of lectures designed to help musical enthusiasts become more astute, sophisticated jazz listeners. In these compelling lectures, Professor Buehrer introduces concepts common to nearly all forms of music before focusing on unique aspects of jazz appreciation from early jazz to Swing, Bebop, Fusion, and the contemporary jazz scene.
Drummer Max Roach once remarked that recordings are the textbooks of jazz. The two-CD compilation Jazz: The First 100 Years, included in this package, is considered by Professor Buehrer to be an invaluable supplement to his lectures. The detailed listening guides contained in the course guide booklet are designed to further assist ones understanding and appreciation of jazz.
