Today there are many people love jazz. In fact, almost every household has someone who stops moving his cool rhythm and tempo love. However, jazz is music is not so simple because it all started. Based in fact, about the origins of jazz, has this kind of music genre had its share of time before he strikes to low popularity. While jazz is now appreciated by many people, there was a time in history, if it is not as accepted as it is today.
Somehow, the popularity of jazz and its unpopularity was beginning to be clearly identified with its black music than to do. But now, when it comes to issues of racial discrimination began to decrease slowly, one can say that jazz playing, not only for blacks, but also knows, is here to stay.
In general, the origin of the Jazz was expected to have in New Orleans from spreading to Chicago, then Kansas City, then New York and eventually started in the West Coast. Both the song and the instrumental parts of the blues are known to be essential that we are still concentrated in the genre today. There were and there are many types of nature and it was all with Ragtime, which officially began in New Orleans or Dixieland jazz as well known, began. Then, after that it swing to jazz, which was known as a bop or bebop. Cool jazz, or progressive and then, subsequently replaced by the hard bop and neo-bop.
Then there was the third stream and the modern and mainstream jazz-type dance, like many people, which is Latin jazz. Of course, Rock and Roll also has its influence on the genre with the publication of jazz-rock, which eventually followed by the avant-garde, was, or what is commonly known as free jazz.
Actually commenced, the origin of jazz has in recent years of the 19th Century and was derived from the working title of the blacks, their songs of pain, called their territory, were their songs and spiritual songs, melodic rhythmic and harmonic elements, which have been regarded as dominated by the African influence. However, because it was considered a musical genre that is improvised, spontaneous and emotional in nature and because it is primarily associated with black jazz does not get the level of insight that deserves.
It was the European public has shown more cordial reception, jazz, what jazz musicians of America in this country are working on their business. Jazz just won a wider audience in adaptations or imitations of it made from white orchestra. In the second half of 1930, when he must have known, is a legitimate entertainment, and when Benny Goodman concert set up at Carnegie Hall in groups of mixed racial origin.
