Program Outline
Outline:
This revised course covers the pillars of both musical forms—jazz with Louis Armstrong and Jellyroll Morton and the blues with Bessie Smith, Robert Johnson, and B.B. King.
- We then follow jazz as it moves upriver to Chicago to hear Eddie Condon and Bix Beiderbecke; then New York, where it burst forth from the big bands of Basie, Ellington, Goodman, and Dorsey with vocalists Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday.
