for your paper of 600 to 800 words. You will be writing about the historic jazz style represented by this musician, as well as his or her individual performance style.  An abundance of choices will allow you to write with genuine enthusiasm about one of your favorites.  ( note that we have excluded Miles Davis and John Coltrane from the list–they are simply too popular to include on the list.) For the musician: This assignment is an extension of the work you have been doing on the discussion boards.  Topics questions can serve to guide your own investigation of the piece you have selected. The one caveat is to –be it recordings on the lesson pages, the discussion boards, or on the Unit listening lists.  As far as that goes, there are several more lessons before the end of the semester.  There is one remaining discussion board, and there are recordings on the Unit 5 Listening List (that will be presented in Lessons 13 and 14).  These recordings–and all recordings from Lessons 12, 13, and 14–are also off limits.  The remaining lessons are available to you, so that you can check to make sure that your selection is not a recording from the lesson pages.
