- **Event Description**: Presented by CSULB Jewish Studies

What happens when Jewish culture meets America’s greatest musical art form? Join us for a talk with Professor Charles Hersch, author of Jews and Jazz: Improvising Ethnicity, as he explores the surprising and powerful ways Jewish musicians have shaped and been shaped by American jazz.

From Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw to Stan Getz and Michael Brecker, Jewish artists have used jazz to express who they are at different periods in American history:
To claim their place as Americans (1920s and 1930s)
To stand in solidarity with African Americans (1940s and 50s)
And to rediscover their own Jewishness in a multicultural world (1960s to present)

Discover how jazz became a stage for identity, belonging, and creativity — and why this story still matters today.
