Kind of Blue: the History of Jazz

Jazz is the greatest art form the USA has contributed to world culture, and its history is as rich as its music is varied. From the Dixieland of New Orleans to swing, bebop, cool jazz and the avant-garde, jazz boasts thousands of peerless musicians, including Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker and Miles Davis. This course will trace the history of this unique music, a long winding odyssey across America and the world, one which inspired a host of musical idioms.
