"It’s in New Orleans, at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries, that multiple musical genres coalesce to give birth to the music we now know as “jazz.” Why NOLA? We’ll explore this issue as we discuss the lives and music of such early jazz pioneers as Buddy Bolden, Joe “King” Oliver, Jelly Roll Morton, Sidney Bechet, and more. Vintage recordings, as well as live performances from your speaker, will make this presentation swing like the Big Easy itself!"
