The document provides an overview of different genres and artists in ragtime, blues, and jazz music from the 1890s to the 1990s. It lists CDs and tracks that were played in a humanities class to demonstrate the evolution from early ragtime to contemporary jazz. Examples include works by Scott Joplin, Jelly Roll Morton, Bessie Smith, Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Muddy Waters, and B.B. King. Additional sources on the topics are available in an online discussion board.
2. Just a note . . . This slideshow lists the CDs I played in class; you can check out CDs from your local library or listen to excerpts by going online to www.amazon.com and searching for the artist/performer. My intention: To show through changes from the earliest ragtime to contemporary jazz. Additional sources are posted in the Discussion Board.
