Course Description
We will survey the ‘Great American Songbook’ by looking closely at the compositions of its best-known songwriters. Each week we will examine three to five songs by these composers and listen to a number of performances of each tune showing how jazz musicians used each to contribute to the development of jazz. In the process, we will also reflect on how each composer and performer contributed to and/or reflected North American culture.
Note: Musical examples will include recordings and performances by the instructor. Knowledge of music theory is not required. Song selections may change from week to week.
This course is offered in person.
