Yale University
Spring 2003
This seminar will undertake critical reading of the earliest commentaries on jazz (including the writings of musicians, literary critics, educators, the popular press, and artists (especially the Futurists, Surrealists, and Dadaists), and of the first attempts at jazz history. Discussion will include the dates and characteristics of the earliest jazz, the role of race in jazz commentary, and the place of jazz in twentieth century discourse. Recordings and films will supplement the readings.
REQUIRED READINGS:
Because this seminar will require participants to explore their own areas of interest in early jazz writing (see the enclosed reading list), no text book will be used, though everyone will read the articles and news clips reprinted in Karl Koenig's Jazz in Print: 1856-1929 (Pendragon Press, 2002)
