Jazz and Creativity: Lecture, Performance and Audience Response Scat Session October 26, 2010

Musician, creative artist and community leader Rob Levit draws on examples from Picasso, Miles Davis and Balinese music to demonstrate that the creative process is accessible to all. In addition to performing innovative renditions of songs by artists like Thelonious Monk and The Beatles — as well as his own original compositions — Levit will teach participants how the principles that artists use can be applied to everyday life. Audience members can participate in a scat-singing lesson and perform in an informal scat session.
