Barry Wiesenfeld, bassist, lecturer and author presents his enlightening program on Jazz. You may remember him if you heard his program on “The Beatles:50 years Later’ at our library a few years ago. Barry explains that Jazz was born in the U.S. and is our gift to the rest of the globe. This presentation delves into its origins, styles, evolution, and milestones. Of course, as with all of his lectures, we will listen to an earful of magnificence. Barry discusses the components that are common to all eras of jazz history, and, interestingly, those elements that are common to other styles of music. Barry is on the music faculty on SUNY and Ramapo Colleges.
