When legendary trumpeter Miles Davis was asked “What is jazz?” his answer was – “I’ll play it first and tell you what it is later.” Although there is no record of him ever actually answering the question, his playing certainly was a masterful demonstration of jazz.
To answer this question, Jim will explore five elements of jazz. Through discussion as well as performed examples of each element, expect to have a deeper appreciation for jazz, as well as an answer to the question – “What is jazz?”
