1 Music 32B Elements of Jazz Prof. Bob Nieske Tuesday and Friday 12:30-1:50 Slosberg Room TBA Textbook: Jazz 101(a complete guide to learning and loving jazz) Author: John F. Szwed Hachette Books Recommended Reading: On ITunes U: Jazz Insights by Dr. Gordon Vernick Jazz Styles, Mark Gridley Pearson/Prentice Hall Jazz Changes, Martin Williams Oxford Univ. Press 1992 Jazz Talking, Max Jones Da Capo Press 1987 Musings, Gunther Schuller, Oxford Univ Press 1986 Early Jazz, Gunther Schuller, Oxford Univ. Press 1968 The Making of Kind of Blue, Eric Nisenson St. Martins Griffen 2000 Studio Recordings of Miles Davis Quintet , Keith Waters Oxford Univ Press 2011 Jazz from its origins to the present, Lewis Porter Prentice Hall 1993 Jazz the first 100 years, Henry Martin and Keith Waters Schirmer 2002 Success in this 4 credit hour course is based on the expectation that students will spend a minimum of 9 hours of study time per week in preparation for class (LISTENING, readings, homework, discussion sections, preparation for exams etc.) This is not a sociology course. It is a music class although there is no music prerequisite. The primary focus will be the important musicians in Jazz, identifying standard song forms and distinguishing historic performance styles. There will be a lot of important musicians left out but I ll talk about the musicians who I find the most interesting and important based on my experience. I am not an academic or a historian but I am a Jazz Musician and will be talking from the perspective of someone who has played with and known musicians who are some of the most important in Jazz history. At the end of the course you should be able to have a SENSE of what Jazz music is. Not necessarily be able to define it but to know it when you here it and understand it s basic concepts. You should be able to tell instrumentalists from one another. For example: Miles Davis from Dizzy Gillespie, Johnny Hodges from John Coltrane or Ornette Coleman. Count Basie from Duke Ellington. A 12 bar blues from a 32 bar AABA form. This will require some very basic musical training which we will spend the first few weeks covering. You will be given my notes for each class to use as study guides.
