BLUES IN THE JAZZ WORLD

LISTENING TO JAZZ—BLUES IN THE JAZZ WORLD

ONLINE WORKSHOP WITH PAUL SILBERGLEIT

The blues has been an important element of jazz from the beginning, but appears in many variations within the genre—sometimes with a more obvious connection to the blues style itself, and sometimes transformed into a very different and surprising new sound. Learn to recognize this form as it appears in the music of Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and more.

Cost: $15
