Vilenskaya in Limassol - What Jazz Is and What It Is Not

Lecture Topic: What Jazz Is—and What It Isn’t

Let’s answer this right away: jazz is a way of arranging a familiar melody—a distinctive style that our ears instantly recognize. Naturally, this answer raises plenty of other questions: Who came up with it? How exactly do you play music to make it sound like jazz? We’ll discuss all of this during the lecture, explore the stories behind famous jazz musicians, and learn to distinguish between different types of jazz by ear. No prior musical knowledge is required.
