one book review, two jazz concert reports

Concerts: During the semester each student is expected to attend two live jazz performances and write one two-page paper describing both experiences. Performances may be on or off campus. They may be formal or informal. They may be free or expensive. They may be professional, amateur, or students. But, they must be live performances. There is no particular format for this paper, because every experience is different. Use your imagination. Your report can be personal and informal, but it needs to include enough specific information to convince me that you actually were in attendance.

Book Report: After reading Crow’s Jazz Anecdotes, each student will write a    two-page book report. Once again there is no specific format. Use your imagination and feel free to be personal and informal.
