Four On The Floor and Walking Bass ||: HHV Ep 2-7

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.
