Savage Content has announced a new web series where guests compete head-to-head in a test of their jazz knowledge. The Jazzology series allows viewers to learn fascinating facts from the world of jazz and experience a friendly competition between two seasoned jazz enthusiasts.
The series, which runs alternate Fridays on Savage Content’s official YouTube channel, is hosted by Willard Jenkins, who is recognized in the jazz community under his Open Sky Jazz banner. Jenkins has dedicated his career to the arts and the world of jazz. His many titles include artistic director for concerts and festivals, arts and music consultant, writer, producer, educator, broadcast journalist and now web series host.
“Jazzology helps keep alive the rich history of an art form that has inspired so much of today’s music, and we’ve come up with a great format to test someone’s musicology in both an enjoyable and challenging way,” Jenkins said.
“Willard Jenkins is a fountain of knowledge and inspiration, and he makes Jazzology an entertaining and engaging experience for any music lover that tunes in,” producer Adam Savage said. “It’s a great 20-minute break in the day, and regardless of your level of jazz knowledge, our multiple-choice format gives everyone an opportunity to get it right.”
