The Age of Jazz- with Sandy Burnett
Location
About
Join us at the Riverina Conservatorium of Music.
Jazz is one of the Twentieth Century’s most important musical genres: a fascinating blend of rigorous structure, free-wheeling creativity, close-knit ensemble work and improvisation. Sandy Burnett’s lecture covers the early years of jazz from its very beginnings and the first ever recordings made just over a century ago through to the start of the Second World War. Sandy’s illustrations range from early pre-impressions by Maurice Ravel and others and the very earliest jazz recordings through to classics by Louis Armstrong’s Hot Five, the Duke Ellington Orchestra, and the dawn of the Swing Era.
Sandy is one of the UK’s most versatile music commentators, enjoying a career that combines broadcasting, performing, and lecturing.
