"America's Music" series
12: Swing jazz is covered in an
episode of "Ken Burns' Jazz" and the documentary
"International Sweethearts of Rhythm."
Beginning Sept. 14, the "America's Music" series
explores a different, uniquely American, musical genre's influence on American
life during sessions held every other Saturday. Funded by a grant from the
National Endowment for the Humanities, all sessions are free and open to the
public and take place on UNG's Gainesville Campus in the Martha T. Nesbitt
Academic Building.
Participants are welcome to join any number of sessions,
which start at 4 p.m. and will last about 90 minutes to two hours. Light
refreshments will be provided, and RSVPs are appreciated to emily.thornton@ung.edu or 678-717-3658.
