In this class, ASU Jazz Studies Professor Dr. Jeffrey Libman discusses the life and music of trumpeter and composer Miles Davis. Davis emerged professionally during the heyday of bebop, but then became a legendary bandleader who restlessly pushed jazz into the future, helping to develop cool jazz, hard bop, modal jazz, post bop, and jazz/rock fusion. This class is intended for jazz aficionados and those who would like to learn more about jazz. Instruments not required! The class will consist primarily of active listening to exemplary recordings with interspersed guided discussion.

 

We're bombarded with advice on how to manage stress, fitness routines, sleep hygiene, meditation apps, diet plans, and more. But somewhere between childhood and adulthood, we forgot one of the most natural antidotes of all: play. Led by Dale Larsen, Director of Community Relations and Professor in ASU's School of Community Resources & Development, this session draws on his four decades of leadership in parks and recreation to revisit the science and joy of play. Rediscover how this "childlike" concept can become one of the most essential tools in your everyday life.
