Jazz+Musician+Bios

This page was compiled as a class project of the 6th grade music classes. On this page, you will see biographies of some of the world's most popular and successful jazz artists of all time. Students were to look for certain pieces of required information and find additional information as it was available. They also needed to find a picture of their musician. With some basic instruction, the finished biography and photograph were then posted on to this site. We hope you enjoy these biographies and find the information useful. We are very thankful for the sites that provided us with information. Citations are at the bottom of each page.
