Italian America in the World of Jazz

Thursday, April 22, 2021 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM

Please join the Coccia Institute for the Italian Experience in America at Montclair State University and One Day University on Thursday, April 22, 12pm as they present:

 
Mark Rotelladirector of the Coccia Institute at Montclair State University, leads a discussion with Anna Celenza, professor of music at Georgetown University, and John Gennari, professor of English at the University of Vermont, on the impact and influence Italian Americans have had on jazz from its origins to the present day.
 
Their discussion will hit all the notes—the birth of jazz in New Orleans with Louis Prima and Louis Armstrong in the French Quarter and Little Palermo; New York City’s Swing Street and the Famous Door; the rise of jazz in Fascist Italy; and the influential postwar Italian American musicians and singers, such as Chick Corea, Scott LaFaro, Jimmy Giuffre, Jackie Paris, and Lennie Tristano.
