Lifelong Learning Lecture: How the Supreme Court Helped Give Birth to Jazz
Presented by Paul Buono, Jazz Pianist & Lecturer in Music, Assumption College
Find out how unique facets of American history, including the post-Civil War Reconstruction era, minstrel shows, New Orleans’ unique history as part of the Louisiana Purchase, and the famous Plessy v. Ferguson case, provided just the right environment in New Orleans to give birth to jazz music in the late 1800’s/early 1900’s.
