Jazz and U.S. "American Culture"

Hi everyone! Here are the materials from last week's presentation on the history of jazz music and the ways it has shaped (and represents) "American" culture. I hope you enjoy! 

Also included is a special surprise. One of the members of our group, Marina, was nice enough to share some pictures of the Miles Davis monument in Montreaux, Switzerland! Pretty cool stuff. Thanks Marina!
