Additional Course Info | Class Number: 3022 A study of jazz and its many meanings, from Louis Armstrong to John Coltrane, and from Charles Mingus to Sun Ra. We’ll explore the music itself, of course. But our main focus will be on the stories that its creators tell about themselves, and the stories that various eye (and ear) witnesses and critics tell about why jazz matters. Together, we will discuss, question, and write about topics such as art and entertainment, difference and race, ownership and authenticity, discrimination and community. ; Enrollment Limit: 12 Humanities, A: Meaning, Interpretation (Texts) (; Hav: HU, A) |
