Event
Jazz History Hollywood Swings
Charles Bergeron, Ph.D., Professor of Jazz History and Program Director for Jazz Pedagogy at the University of Miami’s Frost School of Music
Jazz music’s presence in film dates back to the era of silent films when ragtime and early jazz scores accompanied the action on screen. In this program, we will examine some early examples and come to understand how the genre’s rich textures, improvisational nature and emotional depth make it a versatile choice for enhanced storytelling.
This presentation is part of Charles Bergeron's Jazz History series.
