What is the Great American Songbook? What makes a song a Jazz “standard?” Explore the canon of American Songs that became the core repertoire of Jazz through listening and discussion. We’ll unpack the craft, history, and enduring appeal of the songs of Gershwin, Porter, Berlin, Rodgers, and their contemporaries—and hear how generations of improvisers have made them their own.
