Course Description
Discipline(s):
Artistic, Interpretive, & Philosophical Inquiry
Jazz has historically been a male-dominated field. Who are the women artists whose work emerged in jazz, what is their music, and what are their stories of inspiration, creativity, struggles and triumphs? Through our exploration of recordings, scholarship, music journalism, video, film and live music performance we will ponder these questions and gain a better understanding of how the politics of gender have challenged jazz music.
