This is Jazz | Episode 1

How to listen, like really really listen, to jazz

What exactly is jazz? Rhythm, swing, blues? What do they mean? Do I need to be a musician to listen to jazz? Is there one jazz sound? Turn your confusion into answers with Litmus Jazz Ensemble and host, Ashley, as they break down this often-misunderstood genre in the series, This is Jazz.

In this first episode, find out how to listen, like really, really listen, to jazz. Uncover the essential ingredients to this genre of music and find out what elements to look out for when you experience a jazz performance.
