(a) |
Examine roles that jazz artists might have beyond being performers and identify individuals who fit those particular roles (e.g., Oscar Peterson/teacher, Wynton Marsalis/educator and Louis Armstrong/ambassador). |
(b) |
A number of jazz artists have First Nations or American Indian heritage. Discuss possible reasons why this is not widely known (e.g., older performers Mildred Bailey and Dave Brubeck spoke to this, younger players such as Sharel Cassity and Julia Keefe have a different outlook). |
(c) |
Identify influential players of the student's instrument, investigate why these performers are so influential, listen to their music, and give special attention to performers from Saskatchewan and Canada. |
(d) |
Discuss the First Nations/American Indian heritage of jazz performers such as Oscar Pettiford, Art Farmer, and Jim Pepper and the effect of this heritage on their music and lives. |
(e) |
Discuss the influence of jazz on contemporary First Nations music. |
(f) |
Research career avenues in jazz and music in general. See online resources for lists of performers. |
