MUGN 109-02, Intro to Jazz, Spring 2022
You Tube Video Assignment
DUE BY 11:59 PM, MAY 12, 2022
1. I have constructed a playlist for you, primarily representing
contemporary performers. It may be found on my You Tube
page at the following link. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgR5yFQnp9hLUqepHZYqq8addNXcC4GrT
Alternatively, you can just go to youtube.com/jkjazznj and find
the playlist labeled MUGN 109 Spring 2022. This is the group
of single videos, which is separate from the concerts. Please do
not use other playlists you may find there for this assignment.
2. You are expected to respond to the ten of those videos by
answering the following to the best of your ability (Note:
videos vary in information available).
a. What is the title of the piece you watched / listened to?
b. Who are the main artists?
c. What instruments are in the group?
d. What jazz style would this music most likely be classified as?
e. Did you enjoy the music? Why or why not?
3. Each video is worth 10 points, for a total of 100 (10% of
your grade) for this assignment. It should be an easy way to
add points to your grade, but please don’t take this for
granted when giving your answers to letters “a” through “e”
above – particularly letter “e” the most important question.
Thank you in advance! 🙂
