THANK YOU.

>> THIS TIME ON "BROAD & HIGH", LEARN ABOUT THE HISTORY OF JAZZ, COOK UP SOME JAZZY BROWNIES, AND UNCOVER THE SECRET TO SPARKING CURIOSITY AND DISCOVER JAZZ MUSIC.

THIS AND MORE RIGHT NOW ON "BROAD & HIGH".

>> WELCOME TO BROAD & HIGH, I AM YOUR HOST, KATE QUICKEL.

IF YOU WERE TO ASK FIVE PEOPLE TO DESCRIBE JAZZ MUSIC, YOU WOULD PROBABLY GET FIVE DIFFERENT ANSWERS, AND THEY WOULD ALL BE CORRECT.

NOT ONLY IS THERE GREAT DIVERSITY IN THE SOUND, YOU WILL ALSO FIND IT CAN EXPRESS MANY DIFFERENT EMOTIONS.

IN THIS SENSE, WE WILL DISCOVER THE RICH HISTORY OF JAZZ MUSIC IN COLUMBUS AND WHAT SHAPED IT'S NATURE.

>> JAZZ IS A HYBRID FORM OF MUSIC TRADITION THAT CAME ABOUT IN THE 19th CENTURY.

PRIMARILY THROUGH ANTEBELLUM, THROUGH PARTS OF SLAVERY, THROUGH RECONSTRUCTION ERA WELL INTO THE 20th CENTURY THAT REPRESENTED A NUMBER OF THOSE FEATURES THAT COALESCED WITH RAGTIME MUSIC, WITH BRASS BANDS, THE BLUES YOU MIGHT SAY SORT OF COLORS ALL THIS IN THE BLUES EXPRESSION, BLUES, OF COURSE, IS A FORM ITSELF COMING OUT OF MUSICAL TEACHERS THAT WERE IN SOME SPIRITUAL, SOME WORK SONGS, AND MUCH OF THE MENSTRUAL THEMED MUSIC.

THE BLUES IS IMPORTANT, TOO, TO ALL OF THIS.

AND BLUES IS PROBABLY THE MOST IMPACTFUL, INFLUENTIAL ASPECT OF WHAT WE CALL JAZZ.

IN THE LATE TEENS AND EARLY 20s IT CRYSTALLIZED US INTO A BAND.

IT'S A MOVEMENT THAT IS LARGELY INFORMED BY VOCAL EXPRESSION, IN TERMS OF TONALITY, HOW YOU CAN BEND A TONE, BEND A PITCH, HOW YOU CAN IMITATE VOCAL SOUNDS THROUGH AN INSTRUMENT.

AND THIS BAND IDEA PROVIDED A WONDERFUL VEHICLE FOR CREATIVE EXPRESSION THROUGH IMPROVISATION, PROBABLY THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT FEATURE OF THE TRADITION.

COLUMBUS LIKE DETROIT, LIKE INDIANAPOLIS, LIKE CHICAGO, PITTSBURGH, CLEVELAND, CHANGED DURING THE 1920S BECAUSE THERE WAS A RATHER MASSIVE MIGRATION OF BLACK PEOPLE LOOKING FOR A DIFFERENT WAY OF LIFE, AND IN A SENSE, MORE JOB OPPORTUNITIES FOR THOSE WHO MIGRATED FROM THE SOUTH TO ALL THESE CITIES.

AND WHEN YOU HAVE MIGRATION OF PEOPLE, THEY BRING THEIR CULTURAL EXPRESSIONS WITH THEM THEIR CULTURAL DESIRES, AND SO MUSIC, AGAIN, VERY IMPORTANT.

CHURCH, WE COULD TALK FOREVER ABOUT THE BLACK CHURCH AND HOW THAT MUSIC THEN FORMS THE SECULAR MUSIC.

AND SO, THESE PEOPLE BROUGHT THIS MUSIC.

AND THEY DEMANDED A CERTAIN KIND OF MUSIC THAT CAUGHT ON THROUGH RADIO AND EVENTUALLY TV, BUT PARTICULARLY RADIO.

AND MOST IMPORTANT RECORDING HISTORY, AND MUSIC WAS BECOMING MORE POPULAR IN THE 20th CENTURY JUST FOR PLEASURE, WHERE WE CAN JUST BE ABLE TO TURN ON THE RADIO, TURN ON THE RECORDING AND ENJOY.

THE GEOGRAPHICAL --THIS CITY FOR THE JAZZ WAS IN THE MOUNT VERNON STREET NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE THERE WERE CHURCHES, WHERE THERE WERE FUNERAL HOMES, WHERE THERE WERE INSURANCE COMPANIES.

THERE WERE BUSINESSES, MOM AND POP STORES, CONVENIENCES, BEAUTY SHOPS, BARBER SHOPS AS WELL.

BUT JAZZ CLUB EXISTED.

AND PART OF BABY SENIORS NOVELTY BAR WHICH WAS MAYBE THE FIRST 24 HOUR SPOT IN THE CITY AND HE WELCOMED EVERYBODY AND ANYBODY.

SO, IT WAS A HOT SPOT.

THAT WAS A MAGNET.

AND IT SERVED TO MAKE THAT NEIGHBORHOOD VERY IMPORTANT TO THE VIBRANCY OF THAT MOSTLY BLACK COMMUNITY.

IT HELPED TO SITUATE THIS CITY IS A VERY IMPORTANT CITY WHERE JAZZ COULD THRIVE.

IT COULD BE PERFORMED, JAZZ MUSICIANS COULD COME FROM HERE TO LEAVE HERE, AND GO TO OTHER PLACES.

COLUMBUS HAS BEEN BLESSED TO HAVE SOME WONDERFUL MUSICIANS HERE.

WE COULD GO BACK TO THE EARL HOOD ORCHESTRA, OLD BOSS, RALEIGH RANDOLPH AND HIS SULTANS.

AND WITH THE RISE OF BEBOP AND MORE MODERN JAZZ AFTER WORLD WAR II, COLUMBUS TRULY GETS ON ON THE LARGEST MAP, AND WE HAVE FIGURES LIKE RUSTY BRIAN, KATE MAR, AND THE LIST GOES ON AND ON.

I WOULD CERTAINLY HAVE TO CALL THE NAME OF NANCY WILSON.

SHE IS AN INCREDIBLE SINGER, [ INAUDIBLE ] GRADUATES HIGH SCHOOL, AN INCREDIBLE MUSICIAN.

JAZZ IS SOMETHING.

MANY SAY, YOU KNOW, IT'S AMERICA'S GIFT, MUSICALLY, TO THE WORLD.

>> HAVE YOU HEARD THE PHRASE IT TAKES A VILLAGE?

THERE IS A LOCAL ORGANIZATION THAT IS TAKING IT ONE STEP FURTHER.

IN THIS SEGMENT WE HEAD BACK INTO THE KITCHEN TO LEARN HOW TO MAKE A SWEET TREAT.

>> JOINING ME IN THE KITCHEN TODAY IS STEPHANIE MATTHEWS, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF TRI FOR JAZZ.

THANKS FOR BEING HERE.

>> OF COURSE.

>> TOMMY ABOUT THE TRI FOR JAZZ.

WE DO THAT BY HOLDING LIVE PERFORMANCES, EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT.

PART OF THIS ORGANIZATION IS WE MAKE SPECIAL JAZZ MUSIC AS A CATALYST TO HELP REACH DIFFERENT SECTORS LIKE BUSINESS, EMOTIONAL WELLNESS, HEALTH AND WELL-BEING, EDUCATION AND MORE.

>> THAT'S INCREDIBLE.

JAZZ IS A LAUNCHING POINT FOR OTHER AREAS?

>> JAZZ HAS A RICH HISTORY AS WELL AS WHAT IT DOES IN THE BODY WHEN YOU ARE LISTENING TO IT, NEUROLOGICALLY, PHYSICALLY, THERE ARE A LOT OF BENEFITS TO IT WITH RESEARCH.

>> THAT IS FASCINATING.

>> WELL, I'M EXCITED TO MAKE THESE DELICIOUS MAGIC BARS.

BEFORE WE GET STARTED, TELL ME ABOUT WHY JAZZ, WHY NOW?

>> JAZZ IS AN INCREDIBLY RICH ARTFORM.

IT'S IMPROVISATION AND INNOVATION DRIVEN.

YOU THINK ABOUT IT IN TERMS OF CREATIVITY, CLEAR COMMUNICATION, WE USE JAZZ AS AN ENTRY POINT INTO OTHER AREAS.

ONE OF THOSE AREAS IS EDUCATION.

AND WHEN YOU ADD JAZZ AND SEEN TOGETHER, YOU GET PEOPLE WHO LOVE UP FOR US TO FURTHER ENGAGE THEM AND BRING THEM INTO THIS TYPE OF MUSIC.

AND THAT HELPS US WITH THE FUTURE OF JAZZ.

>> I LOVE CONNECTING JAZZ MUSIC AND MEDITATION.

AND NOW WE CONTINUE ON OUR JAZZ JOURNEY.

AS STEPHANIE MENTIONED, A TRIED FOR JAZZ HAS EMBARKED ON AN INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH TO LEARNING.

IN OUR LAST SEGMENT, WE EXPERIENCED MORE ABOUT THIS EXCITING PROGRAM THAT CHALLENGES STUDENTS TO EXPAND THEIR HORIZONS AND DISCOVER NEW POSSIBILITIES.

>> IT'S MY PASSION TO WORK WITH KIDS, ESPECIALLY IN A SCHOOL SETTING.

IT IS SPECIAL TO BE IN SCHOOL AND BE ABLE TO DO SOME DIFFERENT WORK.

A LOT OF BRANCHES ARE PRETTY CLINICAL.

SO GETTING TO ENGAGE WITH KIDS IN A DIFFERENT WAY, TEACHING THEM NEW STUFF IS REALLY COOL.

>> I AM, I GUESS, YOU WOULD CALL A RESIDENT MUSICIAN.

WE HAVE A JAZZ TRIO EVERY SESSION ALONG WITH KIND OF PROVIDING THE SOUNDTRACK FOR IN SCHOOL SESSION.

WE ARE ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR KIND OF DEMONSTRATING NOT ONLY THE MUSIC THAT WE BRING, BUT THE SCIENCE BEHIND HOW THEY WORK.

>> A LOT OF WHAT WE ARE ASKED TO DO IS EXPLAINING THINGS, HOW DIFFERENT THINGS IN A RETREAT FOR NEW IDEAS, NEW CONCEPTS, SO OUR ROLE IS REALLY JUST SUPPORT AND INTERACTING WITH THEM AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, CREATING CONNECTION AND HAVING CONVERSATION, AND THEY GET TO DO A LOT OF HANDS-ON LEARNING, JUST HELPING THEM THROUGH IT, GETTING TO SEE HOW THEIR BRAINS WORK, IT IS FASCINATING.

IT IS ALL ABOUT CREATING A SAFE SPACE FOR THEM DURING THAT CONNECTION.

>> I LIKE TO THINK EVEN AS WE ARE PLAYING, WE ARE COMPOSING.

EVEN AS WE HAVE A NEW GROUP OF STUDENTS, WE START TO UNDERSTAND THEIR PERSONALITY.

WE ARE COMPOSING A NEW FORMAT THAT WORKS FOR A NEW GROUP OF STUDENTS.

JAZZ IS BROKEN DOWN INTO FOUR WEEKS.

WEEK NUMBER ONE, WE DEAL WITH ACOUSTIC INSTRUMENTS AND THE SCIENCE BEHIND MAKING MUSIC WITH ACOUSTIC INSTRUMENTS.

WE OPEN UP AS A TRIO WITH A COUPLE OF TUNES.

THEY COME AROUND, THEY GATHER AROUND THE PIANO, THEY GATHER AROUND THE BASE.

THEY MOVE ON THE DRUMS, THEY GET A CHANCE TO LOOK.

IN SOME CASES, THEY CAN TOUCH WHILE WE ARE PLAYING.

AND THEN WE MOVE INTO THE SLIM INTRODUCTIONS.

STEPHANIE WILL INTRODUCE THE THINKING BEHIND WHY WE ARE THERE WITH JAZZ CLASS.

THERE WILL BE A FEW ACOUSTIC INSTRUMENTS.

>> WE GOT TO SEE ON THE KEYS AND HOW THEY GOT TO PLAY IT.

>> LATER ON, FROM CAPITAL UNIVERSITY WE WILL DO A LITTLE ACTIVITY WHERE THE KIDS WILL BE ABLE TO COMPOSE USING THE BOOM WHACKERS.

WEEK NUMBER TWO, WE ARE MOVING INTO ELECTRONIC MUSIC.

SO, WE HAVE WILL ROADIE WHO DOES THE INTRODUCTION WITH ROLLING SYNTHESIZERS.

>> THEY ARE ACTUALLY LONGER AND SHORTER.

>> SO WE ARE MOVING INTO ELECTRONIC PICTURES, OSCILLATORS, DIFFERENT PITCHES, AND EVEN SAMPLING.

SO, THE KIDS ALL GET THE ROLLING F1 SYNTHESIZER.

THEY ARE ABLE TO SEE THEIR OWN COMPOSITIONS ON THE SIGNATURE.

>> [ INAUDIBLE ] --VIBRATING -- IT WAS FLAT AND THEN -- >> IT LOOKS LIKE -- >> [ INAUDIBLE ] GOT TO LISTEN AND PLAY -- AND HAVE AN IDEA OF HOW THE HIGH AND LOW WORKS.

>> AT THE END OF THE SESSION, THEY BRING THEIR INSTRUMENTS TO THE FRONT.

AND WE AS A TRIO, WE PLAY ALONG WITH WHAT THEY CAME UP WITH.

PLAY IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE THEY BRING THE VR HEADSETS.

AND THEY HAVE ALREADY PROGRAMMED AND RECORDED A LIVE JAZZ SET.

SO THE KIDS ARE ABLE TO ENTER THE VR UNIVERSE AND ACTUALLY SIT ON STAGE WITH THE VR MUSICIANS THAT ARE LIVE, VIRTUAL REALITY JAZZ SET.

THEY ARE ABLE TO SIT BEHIND THE DRUMS, ABLE TO PICK UP A FEW INSTRUMENTS, THEY ARE ABLE TO PLAY A THEREMIN.

AND ONCE AGAIN, THEY ARE ABLE TO PLAY ALONG WITH THE LIVE BAND WITH THEIR VR INSTRUMENTS.

>> GETTING TO REALLY KIND OF EXPLAIN HOW SOUND WORKS AND GET TO SEE THEM EXPERIENCE IT IN A NEW WAY IS REALLY COOL, AND IT HITS REALLY CLOSE TO HOME.

THE VR IS THE NEWEST TO ME.

SO, I AM LEARNING RIGHT ALONG WITH THEM.

>> WEEK NUMBER FOUR IS WHEN WE COME TOGETHER AND THE KIDS, THEY MAKE GUITARS FROM A KIT THAT IS DONATED BY THE FOUNDATION.

THEY ARE ABLE TO LEARN ABOUT THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT, NOT ONLY HOW IT MAKES NOISE, HOW THE STRUCTURE WORKS, HOW IT RESONATES, HOW IT'S PLAYING, HOW IT'S TUNED, THEY DESIGN, COLOR, ADD STICKERS, AND EXPLAIN WHY THEY MADE THEIR GUITAR THE WAY THEY DID.

>> HONESTLY, JUST THE MOST REWARDING PART IS GETTING ABLE TO SEE THEM EVERY WEEK.

AND ONCE WE GET TO THE END, WE HAVE A STRONGER CONNECTION WITH THEM.

THEY GET TO SAY, I'M GOING TO MISS YOU WHEN YOU'RE NOT HERE ANYMORE.

IT IS REALLY SPECIAL IN SUCH A SHORT TIME TO CREATE THIS MESSAGE WITH THEM.

>> THIS GIVES THE STUDENTS A CHANCE TO LEARN SCIENCE AND MAKE HYPOTHESIS, COME UP WITH THEIR OWN THESIS ABOUT SOMETHING AND SEE IF IT ACTUALLY WORKS OUT.

>> IT MAKES YOU WANT TO DANCE -- IT MAKES YOU HAPPY MOST OF ALL.

[ INAUDIBLE ] >> THERE IS A LOT OF UNIQUE AND REALLY IMPORTANT LEARNING THAT HAPPENS WITH MUSIC AND WITH ART, THE CREATIVE SIDE OF THE BRAIN WORKING, AND YOU COMBINE IT WITH THE MATH AND THE SCIENCE.

IT KIND OF CREATES THIS PERFECT MESH OF ALL THOSE THINGS WE WANT KIDS THIS AGE TO LEARN, BEING ABLE TO REACH AS MANY KIDS AS POSSIBLE TO SOMETHING LIKE THIS IS DEFINITELY OUR GOAL.

IT IS EXCITING WE ARE ABLE TO DO IT.
