1 Jazz Music 231/331 Autumn :30 2:50 p.m. Monday and Wednesday Goodspeed Hall 402 Prof. Travis A. Jackson Office Hours: Wed. 3 5 p.m., 302 Goodspeed Hall Phone: (773) travieso@uchicago.edu Web: Course Description: This survey charts the history and development of jazz from its African roots to the present. Representative recordings in various styles are selected for intensive analysis and connected to other musics, currents in American and world cultures, and the contexts and processes of performance. Course Materials All readings will be available via the Chalk Site as PDF files, unless otherwise indicated. Listening assignments will be accessible via Chalk. Course Requirements: Attendance and active participation in class sessions. More than 2 unexcused absences will result in your final grade being lowered by one letter (e.g., A- will become B-). An excused absence is one for which you have presented a note from your doctor, the Student Care Center or the Student Counseling and Resource Service (because you were ill) or when you have given the professor written notice in advance and received written confirmation that your absence will be excused. You can find further information on University policies by going to the Frequently Asked Questions section of my University webpage (the URL is above). A midterm and (non-cumulative) final examination. A 6 8 page concert paper (for undergraduates), due Nov. 20. No late papers will be accepted (anticipate computer failures, disk problems, etc.). All papers should have a cover page indicating, at minimum, the paper s title and the student s name. The text should be doublespaced (but not triple-spaced!), and no margins (left, right, top, or bottom) are to be larger than one inch. No typefaces are to be larger than 12 points. Any students attempting to reach the page limit through use of abnormally large typefaces or margins will have points deducted from their grade. A research paper (for graduates), due Nov. 20.

2 Statement on Disabilities: It is the responsibility of students with disabilities and/or personal circumstances that may negatively affect their academic performance to inform the professor as early in the term as possible, preferably before the end of week two. Without timely prior notification, it may be difficult or impossible to adjust the due dates of assignments or other projects, to reschedule examinations or to make other accommodations. For further information on University policies regarding disabilities, contact the office of the Dean of Students or consult the Disabilities Services web page: Grading: Attendance and Participation 20% Midterm Examination 30% Final Examination 30% Papers 20% 2
