History of Jazz and Hip Hop Series

History of Jazz and Hip Hop Series
Members of the Bronx community will be invited to explore the roots of Jazz and Hip Hop music. There will be a discussion of the sociopolitical climate that influenced the music, it's innovators, and the future of the music.

I will be commissioning new compositions that exhibit the fundamentals of jazz and hip hop. These compositions will detail examples of what identifies the music as jazz and/or hip hop. Examples of rhythm, harmony, phrasing, articulation, and improvisation will be displaying by world-reknown musicians.

There will be a Question and Answer portion at the end of each clinic/performance in the series so that members of the Bronx community will have a hand in the creation, dialogue, and understanding of the work that will be presented.
