Adult Workshop: What to Listen for in Jazz


Oil and Cotton Creative Exchange

Joe Milazzo Explore the unique practices and rich traditions that enliven this quintessentially American form of expression. Each week, instructor Joe Milazzo will share recordings and facilitate discussion -- "in layman's terms" -- of concepts essential to an appreciation of both the music itself and the ways in which that music reflects and illuminates African-American experience.

No prior experience or musical training is required. Individual modules can be taken on a standalone basis, or in whatever configuration holds the most appeal. *Bring a friend and receive a 10% discount.
