MUSC 013 - Jazz Biographies: Miles Davis

This class explores the impact of leading jazz musicians on 20th Century American music and culture. Through a combination of reading, listening and class discussion, we will use the life of an important jazz musician as a basis for understanding the developments of late 20th Century American Jazz and relationships to the surrounding arts and culture. The class will also explore the lives of ancillary characters (friends, colleagues and role models). Students do not need a background in music theory. Students will need to be willing to critically listen and evaluate musical genres and styles and discuss their cultural and artistic contexts.
