Get Hip: Everything You Never Knew You Wanted to Know About Jazz Music (virtual)

Recommended for grades 5 - 12

For many, hearing jazz for the first time can seem like watching a foreign film without subtitles or being served a plate of food that doesn’t look, smell or taste familiar. However, in many instances, all we need is some foundational information and guidance before things begin making sense and becoming more relatable, appreciated, understood and (hopefully) enjoyed.

The first six episodes are available for online streaming now:

  • “How Jazz Works:  What Happens When a Jazz Band Plays”
  • “JazzNOW:  Profiles in Modern Jazz featuring Some of Today’s Most Dynamic, Sought-After Jazz Artists”
  • “An Abbreviated History of Jazz Drumming”
  • “An Abbreviated History of Jazz Piano”
  • “An Abbreviated History of Jazz Trumpet
  • “An Abbreviated History of Tenor Saxophone”

 

Looking ahead in 2022, the following episodes will be available:

  • “An Abbreviated History of Afro-Caribbean Jazz”
  • “An Abbreviated History of Women in Jazz”
  • “Jazz and The Black Experience”
  • “Jazz & Democracy”
  • “Favorite Jazz Bands of All Time”
  • “Favorite Jazz Albums of All Time
