This video introduces a series of episodes focusing on the various styles of jazz that emerged in the 1950s following the bebop era. By almost any account, this was one of the most impactful decades in jazz history, one which foretold a future in which it would become increasingly difficult to define jazz music. You’ll also learn about Blue Note and Prestige, two independent record labels that played an outsize role in documenting the music of the post-bop era. ABOUT THIS SERIES The Jazz History series is a video adaptation of a PowerPoint presentation used to teach a university course in jazz history. It traces the roots of jazz from Ragtime at the turn of the 20th century to jazz-rock fusion at the end of the 1960s.
