The Year Was 1959
"In his History of Jazz program, Dr. Gordon Vernick, Associate Professor of Music at Georgia State University looks at just one year in the rich history of this uniquely American musical genre. But Vernick sees 1959 as a “nexus point,” the year he “likes to think about as the most important year in jazz.” What occurred in 1959 to make it such a milestone for jazz music? Filed under: Education, iPod+iTunes."
The program is an 11 track podcast covering this part of jazz history, and cool jazz. I listened only to Dr. Vernick's intro so far, but it sounds quite interesting. Pretty cool for free! To find it you can go to the iTunes store and search "History of Jazz" and see the Georgia State U link under iTunes U, or click the announcement in the below link to Apple's "Hot News" page, it is currently the second entry down, and it will take you there. I hope someone enjoys it! Jazz on Sunday is a good thing.
