Most important events in Jazz History?
I am writing a paper and giving a PowerPoint presentation on the History of Jazz. What are some of the most important topics to cover for a mostly music-illiterate audience?
I am a musician and have good knowledge on the topic, but what is the easiest info for those who aren’t knowledgeable?
look for info on:
Bix Beiderbeck (Bauhaus movement),
Paul Whiteman (beginning of Big Band era),
Billie Holiday, (popular jazz singer)
Charlie Christian (changed role of guitar in big band)
Charlie Parker, Theloneus Monk, (BeBop)
Miles Davis, (Fusion)
