Jazz: Yesterday and Today

Louie, the Count, Ella, Dizzy, Herbie, Duke—  just some of the greats of jazz.  They don’t need a last name. We know them by their music.

Andrew Gibson, local performer, instructor, producer, and composer will give us a “crash” course on the life of jazz, from it’s beginnings to today. Listen to some of the important music from the hey-day of jazz and see the impact it has had on today’s artists and musical genres.
