It&#39;s important to remember that this class is about jazz AND culture. I learned a lot about jazz and the culture it created and the culture it was created from. I had never thought of the interesting connections between WWII, for example, and jazz. Another example was the fascinating lesson about the role of the record producer in defining certain sounds and styles. He&#39;s a passionate and interesting teacher.

Great lessons about culture

I happened across this lecture series and am glad I did. It&#39;s not only about jazz, but about American history and the role of jazz in American culture. One of the other reviewers mentioned the lectureres &#34;stammering, stuttering, false starts,&#34; etc. There were a few stammers, but didn&#39;t find any of that problematic or distracting at all, and the lecturer is also passionate about the subject, insightful, and doesn&#39;t sound as if he&#39;s reading from lecture notes. The sound quality, however, is at times poor.

A good series
