"What is Jazz?" by Marcia Dunscomb
A sincere thank you and much praise to Marcia Dunscomb, jazz pianist, composer, author, and piano teacher, for her April 30, 2022 Owl & Ibis presentation, What is Jazz? Marcia’s narrative is here and links to videos she showed are below. There is music in all of us, some of it dormant, some as appreciation, and some as we are able to make it. Marcia rekindled our focus on this foremost expression of our emotional life with her superb presentation on but one of music’s modes, that uniquely American music form we call jazz. Thank you, Marcia!
