1. Pick 2 surprising moments from the solos in these tracks (provide a timestamp), it could come from what the soloist plays, how the other musicians react, or a combination of these. Describe what’s happening in terms of melody, harmony, rhythm, and/or timbre, as well as the emotional impact, and why the moment surprised you.
2. With multiple soloists playing improvised music, how do jazz practices complicate notions of singular authorship found in western European culture and the “myth of the genius”? Refer to musical moments in Kind of Blue to support your point.
3. Is jazz America’s “classical” music? What do you think is meant by that? Is the nature of jazz to be constantly innovating? Or should it be a tradition that is preserved? Do you view European classical music differently in this respect and why?
