Guided listening sessions, live performance/demonstrations, and discussions will be used to give you a deeper understanding of the tunes and the musicians who made them famous.
4/25 with Justin Ramos: “The Classical side of Jazz” where we explore the history of Jazz music evolution and how it fits into the timeline of Classical history, and where the two genres interlope. Many of the Great Jazz musicians, Charlie Parker, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Oscar Peterson had Classical backgrounds played from the rich classical repertoire, were inspired by the great composers and embraced both genres.

5/9 with Justin Ramos: “The Synthesizer in Jazz”, starting with its infancy and first playable models created by Bob Moog and the many evolved instruments that found its way into the Jazz forefront, how it reshaped Jazz and birth new genres of music!
