ALL THAT JAZZ

One of my favorite online learning tools is the Teaching Company. On numerous occasions I have purchased their lectures and listened to them while I drive. The discs provide an abundance of entry level courses designed to inspire students to launch out into the deep. Recently I purchased the course on Jazz. This particular series provides an introduction and history to the development of the Jazz genera. One can go here to discover more about this American phenomenon whose roots sprouted from the African-American culture. Provided in this link are other links to rare Jazz recordings.
