Dear Rotarians,

Rajeev Raja and Sunil Sampat present the history of jazz using  a live performance that brings you jazz music from different eras. Discover the blues and its origins, the part gospels played in jazz history, move on to New Orleans and Dixieland, and mainstream jazz and bebop. You can sing along, stomp your feet, swing with the band, even while learning about this fascinating artform.

This is akin to a stage production where the development of jazz and its essence is brought out in a musical progression.
