Jazz is a uniquely American genre with roots stretching back to Africa. It has reached beyond music to make its mark on literature and the visual arts, not to mention being the origin of hip-hop and R&B. So, if you can play an instrument and read music consider College Now's Jazz Program at York College. In addition to learning some of the fascinating history and theory of jazz, you will deepen your skills and grow as an artist.
