Module 10B: Listening Discussion
After exploring jazz through sources like NPR and Jazz at Lincoln Center, and practicing how to identify musical elements such as melody, rhythm, texture, and form this semester, you will now apply these listening skills to crossover artists. I have included 2 artists, Wynton Marsalis (jazz and classical) and Jon Batiste (Jazz, Pop, and blending classical). Consider how crossover artists like Wynton Marsalis and Jon Batiste blend jazz with other genres using musical elements, changing across styles, as well as similarities and differences you hear compared to traditional jazz.
Discuss and analyze some of your favorite crossover artists, specifically artists who blend jazz with other genres using your current expertise in understanding musical elements as well as listening skills, developed while exploring jazz during this course.
