Theory

History of jazz

The typical chronological approach is not as closely followed.

Instead, the function of today’s music is analysed from here back to its origin.

Classical and folk music play an important part in this sense. Pop music is also covered. Cultural and socio-economic settings that influenced jazz are discussed.

Audio and video material is used.
