Major Artist Interview

We will be doing an interview project with a Major Artist from the history of jazz. Today, I would like you to begin your personal research about the major artists. You will select one to interview. Follow this link to find the list of Major Artists from the Bebop and Modernism period

Listen to the available audio clips and read the brief biographies of each artist. A number of these artists can even be seen in performances on sites like youtube.

For those of you curating a blog, your interview can appear within the blog environment. You should take advantage of the opportunities within the blog environment to include, images, video, audio, links to tangental information, or whatever might add to the interview with your chosen artist.

Once you have chosen the subject artist of your interview, prepare 10 questions for the interview.The interview will focus on questions such as:

• How did you first get involved in music?
• Who were your early influences?
• How do you describe your music?
• Have you worked with any other great musical artists?
• etc.
• etc.
• etc.

Once you have selected your artist, your questions will become more specific to him or her.

You have done elements of the artist interview in the past. If you need a refresher on that assignment or the sample interview, you can check out that blog post here.

This assignment is due by midnight on Friday May 17th. This assignment wil not be accepted late and will count as a double quiz grade. Your completed interview should be in the 750 word range. All sources must be cited.
