From the presentation, we can get an exploration of how jazz is created and enjoyed. We can get answer to the following questions: What does an anecdote about King Matyas have in common with jazz? What constitutes good jazz writing and jazz improvisation? What is the jazz music scene really like? How does it compare to other art forms in its communication, impact and reach as the most uniquely American art form? And the most important detial: there will be live musical demonstration!!!

We look forward to seeing you there!
