Thursday, March 16 10 AM - Waccamaw Library presents Lloyd Kaplan on "The Black American's Influence on Music: from Blues to Classical." Kaplan, a professor emeritus of the Community College of Rhode Island, began researching traditional African American music while preparing for a course on early jazz history. He found a rich past that beats its way right up to the present, in every genre of music. As early as the 1800s, blues music was evolving across the country out of the traditional African slave spirituals, work calls and chants. Jazz, meanwhile, developed in African American communities throughout the South, borrowing some of its ebullient rhythms from West African and the West Indies. Both forms of music had far-reaching effects, influencing everything from jazz to rock, country music to classical. Kaplan has a special appreciation for music, as a dedicated instrumentalist and historian. He plays a mean clarinet and saxophone and sings in the band Aristocats. His love of music is evident as he also finds time to teach courses through the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Coastal Carolina University. To reserve a seat or for more information, email sbremner@gtcounty.org.
