Virtual Jazz 101 with Bobby Sanabria
Part II
Bobby covers the evolution of what became known as swing, the growth of the big band, the birth of Afro-Cuban/Latin Jazz in NYC, Bebop, Cool, Hard Bop, Avant Garde, Fusion, and Jazz's intersections with Pop, Funk, R & B, Rap, and where it's headed today.
Hey CCCADI Family, get your notebooks ready because we’re taking you to class. We are hosting a virtual Jazz 101 class on Tuesday, June 30 at 7PM. Jazz, born in the northernmost Caribbean city, New Orleans, best represents what the United States is, a kaleidoscope of sound and culture driven at its core by the African American-Caribbean experience. Join multi-Grammy nominated drummer, percussionist, bandleader, and educator, Bobby Sanabria as he covers the genre’s origins, evolution, and future.
