POP 394: Jazz in Film
Instructor: Steven Weiss
Prerequisite: None
The histories of jazz and film have been intertwined ever since the rise of the two art forms (toward the end of the nineteenth century). As technology advanced in the twentieth century film and jazz moved forward (often together) as potent elements of the popular culture. This course examines the myriad ways in which the jazz and film worlds collide. In particular the course will look at how film portrays jazz (and jazz musicians), as well as the supporting (and sometimes central) role jazz plays in film. The course will confront issues of race, gender, and lifestyle (including addiction). We will also learn how film can misrepresent (and misinterpret) jazz, as well as how jazz as music may not always lend itself to the medium of film.
