Academic Year 2004/2005

Music of Lennie Tristano, Miles Davis & Max Roach
MUSC 271 FA

This course is conceived as an examination of restructural musics from the 50s/60s time cycle and the role of three major artists in helping to influence and set the aesthetic agenda (and conceptual focus) of postmodern music evolution after the Second World War. The course will use each artist as both a study in itself as well as a point of definition that relates to the broader subject of improvised music and related artists (and/or musics). There will be listening assignments every class--four papers will also be required, one research paper and two listening recognition tests.
