    Description
    History, trends and influences of the phenomenon of jazz through integration of the cultures of (but not limited to) African-American, European-American and the Latin-American communities. Required listening, reading and concert attendance will guide the student to value jazz as a form of self-expression and improve the ability to listen and understand the various eras in jazz from pre-Dixieland to present day.
