Influence of Jazz/Art Music Composers

Abstract: A 7 page research paper that examines the influence of jazz on art music composers. This examination looks at how two art music composers were highly influenced by another musical traditional, which is generally considered to be outside of the realm of serious music--jazz. Examining certain works of Igor Stravinsky and the entire repertoire of George Gershwin shows that art music was enriched by this influx of "new blood" from the realm of popular music. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
