Jazz music can be heard in cafes, bars and stylish boutique shops. Jazz used to be the popular music of its time until about 1950’s when it was replaced by Rock n Roll. However, jazz is not obsolete and continues to exist and has developed many sub-genres and styles over the years. Jazz has a rich history in America as well as in Hong Kong. In this seminar, we aim to introduce jazz to you on a 101 level. We will travel in a time capsule starting from New Orleans where jazz was born, and then explore the different types of jazz music which influenced Shanghai and Chinese music. In fact, Hong Kong people are familiar with jazz because some of the old Cantonese movies featured funny and humorous songs that were adapted from Cuban jazz. 在咖啡店、酒吧以至型格小店，不時都會聽到爵士樂。爵士樂曾經是時代的流行音樂，直到 1950 年代左右才被搖滾樂取代。 然而，爵士樂並沒有過時，而是繼續存在，多年來已經發展出許多流派和風格。作為其中一種深受全球樂迷喜愛的音樂類型，爵士樂中有不同風格，亦有其獨特的歷史根源，甚至在香港亦有豐富歷史。這講座目的是引領聽眾入門欣賞爵士樂。先從香港、上海的爵士樂足迹，追溯至其發源地美國新奧爾良，掌握爵士樂發展歷史。其實香港人對爵士樂絕不陌生，因為新馬仔、鄧寄塵、鄭君綿等主演的粵語長片，都常常使用古巴爵士樂改編成諧趣歌曲。
