    Description
    Cal-GETC Area 3A (Arts) Satisfies Global Citizenship This course concentrates on the origin, development, and major musical styles of jazz music in American culture, with significant emphasis placed on the sociopolitical and economic realities that resulted in shaping the musical decisions of the primary innovators. The course will further illustrate how the multicultural intersection of the African-American, European-American, and Chicano/Latino communities has been and continues to be an essential element for the existence and proliferation of this uniquely American art form. Designed for the non-major but recommended for majors.
