Jazz History Lectures: Tracing the Evolution of Jazz

Today we Celebrate! Happy 100th: Mel Torme, Zoot Sims, Art Pepper and Oscar Peterson.

Swinging Through Time: Tracing the Evolution of Jazz takes you on an electrifying journey through Be-Bop with renowned jazz musician and professor, Chuck Bergeron. A New Orleans native and legendary bassist with over four decades of experience, Chuck explores Mel Torme, Zoot Sims, Art Petter and Oscar Peterson.

Chuck’s musical journey began with studies at Loyola University and the University of Miami, eventually leading him to join the renowned bands of Woody Herman and Buddy Rich. After his time with the Buddy Rich Band, Chuck ventured to New York, where he spent 15 years as a professional bassist, collaborating with an array of jazz luminaries.
