Year 12 Jazz Homework from Thu 10/09/10

By -

To begin the year you simply need to construct a timeline (from 1900 to 1980, though some artists will spill over the ends), for the following artists:

Charlie Parker
Louis Armstrong
Miles Davis
John Coltrane
Bix Beiderbecke
Dizzy Gillespie

Please include birth and death dates, as well as the period in which they were making music, as accurately as you can. I would like to add to and annotate this timeline as we progress through the year, so bear this in mind when sizing your timeline (fill one A4 side).

Please have this ready for next week's lesson (17/09/10).

Thanks,
Mr. Guinane

This 1950 cartoon by Looney Tunes is Bugs Bunny at his operatic finest.  Bugs escapes the obsessed Elmer Fudd and they find themselves in a production of  Il Barbiere di Siviglia  at (presumably) the Hollywood Bowl. Obligatory antics ensue, and we go all in on a creatively animated scalp massage. Rabbit Of Seville from Wet The Face on Vimeo .

After a rather dramatic week of Stravinsky, we turn to a more light-hearted theme of the week of songs from Disney Films.

Enjoy!
