I sat in on Wendell Logan’s Intro to African American Music class, which is cross-listed under African American Studies, Music History and Jazz. It was an amazing class, listening to original jazz recordings from the 20’s and 30’s drawn from the Conservatory’s huge collection and some of Logan’s private stock. He is the genuine article and he tied together elements of social studies, musicology and musical performance with some great personal stories about the people making the music on those recordings. If the other lectures were even half as good as this one, this class is an opportunity not to be missed.
