ROOTS OF JAZZ:  America’s Classical Music   $50
A 10-WEEK MUSIC SERIES

Jazz is America’s Classical Music! For almost a hundred years life in the United States has moved at a pace and cadence that is uniquely “American”. From the thunder and majesty of Gershwin’s incomparable Rhapsody in Blue to the pain and heartache of Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and Nina Simone singing the blues, jazz has provided the soundtrack to our lives and loves – both the way we yearned for them to be, as well as the ways they turned out. Join us as we re-discover the soul of the American experience in music!
