Looking at: Jazz, America's Art Form
The series was held on six consecutive Sundays beginning January 14 at the Weatherspoon
Art Museum, and focused on the origins of jazz and its many forms, from its
roots in New Orleans-style rags and marches, to bebop, swing, Latin jazz and
contemporary International fusion. Students from UNCG's Miles Davis Jazz Studies
Program performed at each event. UNCG was one of 50 locations nationwide to
participate in the series, which is a part of a national initiative of Re:New
Media in partnership with the American Library Association and Jazz at Lincoln
Center and with major support from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
The series was sponsored by the UNCG University Libraries, the School of Music,
the Weatherspoon Art Museum and the UNCG Miles Davis Jazz Studies Program.
