Reading about Jazz Musicians
Each person has their own story that is worth sharing with others. Just like One Direction, famous early jazz musicians had a story that led them to create the music they did. The way they grew up, their culture, and where they came from gave them a unique story only they could tell.
We are going to learn about 7 important "figures" (people) in jazz history by reading about them on PBS Kids. Your teacher will assign you to one of the 7 jazz musicians. Read about your figure and be ready to talk about him or her with other people who also read about them!
