Jazz History The Bass

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

Explore the evolution of the role and function of the bass in jazz history. From Pops Foster, Ray Brown and Paul Chambers to Charles Mingus, Ron Carter and Christian McBride, we examine the most supportive of instruments: the acoustic bass. Be prepared for some special surprises!

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.
