“SCOTT JOPLIN”
(‘1868’ – ‘1917’)
.
(‘jazz’ is a ‘music genre’ that originated in ‘african-american communities’ of ‘new orleans’ in the ‘late 19th’ and ‘early 20th’ centuries, and developed from roots in ‘blues’ + ‘ragtime’)
.
(since the 1920s ‘jazz age’, ‘jazz’ has become recognized as a ‘major form of musical expression’)
(it then emerged in the form of independent ‘traditional’ and ‘popular’ musical styles, all linked by the common bonds of ‘african-american’ and ‘european-american’ musical parentage with a ‘performance orientation’)
(‘jazz’ is characterized by ‘swing’ and ‘blue’ notes, ‘call + response’ vocals, ‘polyrhythms’, and ‘improvisation’)
(‘jazz’ has roots in west african ‘cultural’ and ‘musical’ expression, and in ‘african-american music traditions’ including ‘blues’ and ‘ragtime’, as well as ‘european military band music’)
(although the foundation of ‘jazz’ is deeply rooted within the ‘black experience’ of the ‘united states’, different cultures have contributed their own ‘experience’ and ‘styles’ to the ‘art form’ as well)
(‘intellectuals’ around the world have hailed jazz as “one of america’s original art forms”)
(as ‘jazz’ spread around the world, it drew on different ‘national’, ‘regional’, and ‘local’ musical cultures, which gave rise to many distinctive ‘styles’)
(‘new orleans jazz’ began in the ‘early 1910s’, combining earlier ‘brass-band marches’, ‘french quadrilles’, ‘biguine’, ‘ragtime’, and ‘blues’ with ‘collective polyphonic improvisation’)
(in the ‘1930s’, heavily arranged dance-oriented ‘swing big bands’, ‘kansas city jazz’ (a ‘hard-swinging, bluesy, improvisational style’), and ‘gypsy jazz (a style that emphasized ‘musette waltzes’) were the ‘prominent styles’)
(‘bebop’ emerged in the ‘1940s’, shifting ‘jazz’ from ‘danceable popular music’ toward a more challenging “musician’s music” which was played at ‘faster tempos’ and used more ‘chord-based improvisation’)
(‘cool jazz’ developed in the end of the ‘1940s’, introducing ‘calmer’ + ‘smoother’ sounds and ‘long linear melodic lines’)
(the ‘1950s’ saw the emergence of ‘free jazz’, which explored playing without regular ‘meter’, ‘beat’, and ‘formal structures’, and in the mid-1950s, ‘hard bop’ emerged, which introduced influences from ‘rhythm and blues’, ‘gospel’, and ‘blues’, especially in the ‘saxophone’ and ‘piano’ playing)
(‘modal jazz’ developed in the ‘late 1950s’, using the ‘mode’ (or ‘musical scale’), as the basis of ‘musical structure’ and ‘improvisation’)
(‘jazz-rock fusion’ appeared in the ‘late 1960s’ and ‘early 1970s’, combining ‘jazz improvisation’ with rock music’s rhythms, ‘electric instruments’, and ‘highly amplified stage sound’)
(in the ‘early 1980s’, a commercial form of ‘jazz fusion’ called ‘smooth jazz’ became successful, garnering significant radio airplay)
(other ‘styles’ and ‘genres’ abound in the ‘2000s’, such as ‘latin’ and “afro-cuban’ jazz)
(‘black american music’ from the ’19th century’)
(earliest use of the word was ‘1912’)
(the ‘los angeles times’ describes a pitcher who describes his new pitch as a “jazz ball”…”because it wobbles and you simply can’t do anything with it”…)
