What Do You Know about Jazz? Knowledge Cards

Product description

True or False? Ella Fitzgerald got her start in music when, on a dare, she sang “Judy” at an amateur night competition at the Apollo Theater in Harlem. Can you name the jazz musician whose primary instrument is bagpipes? Lillie Mae Jones became a star jazz singer, though she changed her name first. Who was she? Can you list the players on the seminal jazz album Kind of Blue? The 48 cards in this invigorating quiz deck feature multipart questions that reveal enough knowledge about players, tunes, composers, and jazz trivia to engage everyone from the aficionado to the novice. As an additional feature, listening suggestions for albums and CDs related to the subject of each card form an excellent jazz library. By the way, it’s true about Ella. She won $25, too.
