Mike Sakash will present his popular jazz history course, focused this year on the “Big Bands of the 1950s and ‘60s,” on Tuesdays, 5:15 to 6:30 pm, as a real-time, interactive, online Zoom class through Mountain Top Music.

Each class will explore successful swing-era bands that survived the challenging years following World War II, and the new bands that were later created in the midst of what is now known as a “musical revolution.”
