This document outlines a 10-week course on the history of jazz music. The course will take students on a journey from the origins of jazz to new trends, exploring how jazz music has evolved alongside major 20th century events. Students will gain an understanding of jazz through lectures, assigned readings, videos, mp3s, and by attending live concerts. The course director will curate high-quality materials and tie them together with a clear narrative or screenplay. The goal is for students to feel the music and have a fantastic educational experience that illuminates both the art and drama of jazz's development over time.

4. Why jazz?
Because…
I swing, therefore I am

5. Because…
… its history is correlated with the major events of the
twentieth century, from the beginning…
… it’s an extraordinary example to illustrate the dramas
in art creation…
… it's a great metaphor to explain that the most
important is to do it yourself, to be your own voice

6. How to touch all these
issues in only 10 weeks?
Listening…
Watching …
Feeling

7. The above implies lot of activities
Film
mp3s forum
Lectures
videos
&
Blog
readings
concerts

8. For this reason, it is extremely important
To be selective and choose great material
To have a screenplay to connect it
To use the proper media for each
illustration

And this year we are reediting the screen with
