MUSI 1201 Blues, Jazz, and Rock

The three genres of blues, jazz and rock will be approached as major units of study. The section on Blues will be dealt with first, so as, to have a chronological approach to the course. This unit on the blues will conclude prior to the transition in Rock music. The course will then travel back in time to the end of the Civil War and trace the path of early jazz styles. With the timeline of the blues firmly in place, a comparison of blues and jazz styles and their influences of one another will be discussed in class. The final section of the course will pick up with the late blues style and the transition into Rock music.
