Jazz was born in the early 20th century in and around New Orleans. It then spread North and West coming to Europe in the 1920’s. In the autumn term we will illustrate this history through the music and accompanying commentary. In addition we will use the latest Penguin guide to help members build a collection of the best Jazz recordings. In the spring term we will freewheel but will include at least one session of bring your own favourite recording. We aim to give programmes that are enjoyable and entertaining for the new and the experienced listener. Suggestions for reading include The Rough Guide to Jazz, The History of Jazz by Ted Gioia and A New History of Jazz by Alyn Shipton.
