In this course, a discussion is a posting-based platform designed to facilitate student dialog through the sharing of ideas and opinions. Discussion 4 explores three topics and takes place over a one-week period. You will be graded on depth of insight, use of course and topic-related terminology, use of specific examples, and adherence to the guidelines listed below.
You are required to submit posts on at least two different days, and complete two elements:
1. First, submit a 150 word minimum post that addresses only one of the topics listed below, and post it to the discussion by Friday, by copy and pasting your work into the Reply box (which you’ll find below, beneath the rubric table). Be sure to always click the Post Reply button when you’re done.
2. Then, post at least four informative comments (50 words minimum for each) in response to posts by other students. These posts add to and/or build on other student’s comments, providing additional information or perspectives on the topic – this may also include your personal experiences, insights or opinions.
You’ll find the threaded posts of your classmates by scrolling to the bottom of this page. You can reply to a comment already posted by another student by clicking in the reply field below their post. If you choose to submit more than 4 response posts, you may receive extra credit points.
Topics for Discussion 4:
Explain how avant-garde jazz departed from established notions of melody, harmony and rhythm – provide a clear example for each. What were the primary critiques leveled by jazz journalists and musicians against the avant-garde?
Explain how spiritualism, black nationalism, and musical complexity factored into the development of the jazz avant-garde – using clear examples, connect each with a specific musician.
Considering that fusion and avant-garde styles were initially viewed as radical departures from the existing tradition of jazz, how would you feel if your favorite musical artist(s) began exploring ideas that “challenged” you as a listener? Should artists publicly express their political views? Can you provide an example where you approve or disapprove of an artist making a political statement?
