#BAMM: Black American Music Matters

In this introductory seminar we will explore music birthed in America through the lens of Black Lives, beginning with the vocal legacy of field hollers, work songs, and ring shouts moving into saxophonist Charlie Parker's groundbreaking invention of bebop and John Coltrane's "saxophonic screams." Through a close examination of the most pivotal recordings in Black American Music, we will lay the groundwork for an understanding of how this uniquely Amerian music has shaped our culture and politics.
