The course was developed at Jazz at Lincoln Center 25 years ago. Its eight weekly sessions embrace the breadth of how Jazz music works and where it came from—also how it fits into our culture as an art form and entertainment medium.\nThis will be the first offering of the course in Holyoke.\nAlthough it’s a curated\, organized listening-and-lecture course\, the emphasis is on demystifying Jazz content for beginners. We introduce basic terms\, fundamental concepts\, and cornerstone figures in the music. And of course we listen closely to the swinging\, essential masterpiece recordings of Jazz.\nAre you curious\, or even skeptical? Let’s face it: Jazz can be a little daunting\, hard to grasp\, or obscure. In Jazz 101 we don’t try to make you into a great Jazz musician\, but into a great listener—who can understand and appreciate what you’re hearing.\nThe course is free to all. No registration necessary; just come on by.\nThere’s also no test\, no homework\, no entrance exam\, no audition\, no roll-call—no stress. Just great sounds and stories about the people involved.
