Fred Haas plays the saxophone, teaches jazz history and performance at Dartmouth College. He says jazz is like a language, with a vocabulary you can learn and understand. He teaches the language to young musicians. He also teaches jazz history students to recognize great musicians, just by hearing them. www.interplayjazz.com
