-- During the term, you are required to attend a live jazz performance at a club,
concert hall or any other venue and write a review about this performance.
-- It is strongly recommended that you get prior approval of the performance you
are writing about from the instructor, in order to make sure that it meets the
guidelines of this assignment.
-- If you live in an area where it is impossible for you to locate and attend a live
performance, a recorded jazz performance (preferably a video or DVD
performance where you can observe the performers) may be substituted for a
live review. In these cases, you MUST get a prior approval of your selection of
the recorded performance.
-- My advise would be for you to attend the performance you are writing about
after the first few weeks of the class so that you can put what you are hearing in
context and are in a position to compare it to different styles that are covered in
lectures.
