Jazz History Happy 100th

Charles Bergeron, Ph.D., Professor of Jazz History and Program Director for Jazz Pedagogy at the University of Miami’s Frost School of Music

Happy 100th! From Mel “the Velvet Fog” Tormé, Zoot Sims, Art Pepper and eight-time Grammy Award winner Oscar Peterson to the living legend Roy Haynes — one of the most-recorded drummers in jazz — join us as we celebrate the lives and musical careers of some of the greatest jazz artists born in 1925.

This presentation is part of Charles Bergeron's Jazz History series.

Charles Bergeron

As a jazz bassist and composer, Charles’ unique approach to improvisation and compositional style reflects the wide variety of musical influences while confirming a deep commitment to his musical cultural heritage as a native New Orleanian. This can be seen in his leadership of the South Florida Jazz Orchestra — a critically acclaimed, modern big band comprising many of the top jazz artists and studio musicians in Miami.
