What Is Jazz? With Dazie Mae ||: HHV Ep 2-11

What Is Jazz? With Dazie Mae ||: HHV Ep 2-11

This week I'm going to dig into the Jazz genre and the music of Dazie Mae, from Paris. Hooks keep our attention as changes within a song. Genre attracts us because it's familiar. We've heard the style before. There are many elements that collectively define a genre. Let's look at a few, in Jazz.   In Hits and Hooks Vignettes, we play some great tunes and lift the hood to see what makes them tick. HHV is a music podcast about how songs keep listeners engaged through hooks, structure, and subtle musical decisions.   Follow Hits and Hooks Vignettes, and join me, TuneMoose Matt Bates, for a weekly short walk through musicland!
