JAZZ1022: Jazz History 2

2027 unit information

Jazz History 2 explores the development of jazz from the emergence of bebop in the late 1930s and 1940s through to the stylistic expansions of the late 1970s. The unit examines bebop, cool jazz, hard bop, modal jazz, post-bop, free jazz, the avant-garde, and jazz fusion, considering how musicians reworked harmony, rhythm, improvisation, form, timbre, ensemble practice, and recording aesthetics. Through key artists, recordings, cultural communities, and critical debates, students investigate jazz as a changing musical, cultural, and social practice, including its intersections with civil rights, modernism, popular music, rock, funk, and country styles.
