Jazz Lives!

Brought to you by Hopkins at Home

June 23, 2020 - July 14, 2020 (4 weeks)
Tuesdays, 12:00 PM - 1:00PM EDT

Join Nasar Abadey as he takes you on an exploration of key fundamental elements which create Jazz music. The sessions will examine and illustrate the following areas: 

• Art of Listening to Jazz (what to look for in a Jazz performance live or recorded) 
• The Origin of the Blues 
• Improvisation  
• Call and Response  
• Scat Singing 
• Trading Fours 
• … and more 

Additionally, the when, why and how this music developed and the many that advanced it to achieving its status of America's gift to world culture will also be a part of the discussion. Music examples will be played to illustrate points of views presented. All in all, this will be a fun filled activity of listening and enjoying the music of some of the greatest Jazz musicians, male and female, that created this music.
