Course Description: The Chicago Blues Scene: From the Past to Preservation
32-1628
This course surveys the past, present, and future of the blues and the impact Chicago, as the "Blues Capital," has had on the world culturally, sociologically, and economically. This course will give students the opportunity to study the living tradition of the blues through readings, videos, live performances, and the music itself. The class will feature workshop sessions where students perform some of the compositions they've encountered.
