Jazz If the jazz opened to you its soul-you are King, if didn't, please, close a door on the other hand. (c)
Jazz is a musical style that originated at the beginning of the 20 th century in black communities in the Southern United States. It was born out of a mix of African and European music traditions. Its African pedigree is evident in its use of blue notes, improvisation, polyrhythms, syncopation, and the swung note. From its early development until the present day, jazz has also incorporated elements from American popular music.
As the music has developed and spread around the world it has drawn on many different national, regional, and local musical cultures giving rise, since its early 20 th century American beginnings, to many distinctive styles: New Orleans jazz dating from the early 1910 s; big band swing, Kansas City jazz, and Gypsy jazz from the 1930 s and 1940 s; bebop from the mid-1940 s; and on down through West Coast jazz, cool jazz, avant-garde jazz, Afro. Cuban jazz, modal jazz, free jazz, Latin jazz in various forms, soul jazz, jazz fusion, and jazz rock, smooth jazz, jazz-funk, punk jazz, acid jazz, ethno jazz, jazz rap, cyber jazz, Indo jazz, M-Base, nu jazz, and other ways of playing the music.
Etymology of «jazz» The origin of the word jazz has had wide spread interest—the American Dialect Society named it the Word of the Twentieth Century—which has resulted in considerable research, and its history is well documented. The word began as West Coast slang around 1912, the meaning of which varied but did not refer to music. The use of the word in a musical context was documented as early as 1915 in the Chicago Daily Tribune. Its first documented use in a musical context in New Orleans appears in a November 14, 1916 Times-Picayune article about "jas bands. "
