Schaap is Back! With Swing University
"I won't teach you trumpet or piano or drums, but I'll teach you the history, the context, the culture, while telling you some good stories."
— Phil Schaap
Phil Schaap's Swing University explains jazz, its development, and how to be an effective listener. Class members learn how to follow song form, understand the uses of ensemble and soloist in a jazz performance, and explore the significant events in the music's history. Taught with the help of special guest lecturers and guests Dick Katz, Vincent Gardner and Wynton Marsalis, Swing University offers a wide range of courses to suit all jazz lovers from novices to cats just bad enough to try to challenge Phil's jazz swing quotient.
