Abstract

This study contributes to the literature of New Orleans jazz by providing a documentation of twenty-four New Orleans musician's perspectives on New Orleans style and their ideas on jazz education. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed for common themes. Participants in the study agreed that New Orleans style is a dialect of the jazz language that can expand any musicians' vocabulary. Results concluded that New Orleans style continues to evolve and could be incorporated into current jazz pedagogy. New Orleans musicians offered several strategies for integrating New Orleans style into jazz curriculum.
