Jazz is from the early twentieth century in New Orleans. Jazz was born in New Orleans because New Orleans is a perfect city, and the element came together. But, on a different article it said jazz was born and developed in African American in the United States. Jazz made slave songs and spirituals for religious African American folk songs.
The Jazz inventors were mainly African Americans. Certain characteristics were found in jazz in the late 19th to the 20th centuries. Uniquely jazz music developed to American style of music, jazz brings young people together. Jazz was in the period of time between the end of World War One and The Great Depression.
Jazz was born in the 1395, jazz came out before the blues. Jazz isn’t just music it's a dance routine. Jazz has ballet technique in some choreography, the choreography is upbeat. Jazz dance was originally from African American dance from the late 1800s to the mid 1900s. Forms of jazz dances were called The Black Bottom, Cake Walk, Jitter Bug, Charleston, Boogie Woogie, Swing Dancing, and Related Lindy Hop.
Today jazz dance has different forms and styles. Jazz dance is in dance schools and is in the theater choreography. You can see jazz dance/dancing in plays/musicals, music videos, and on tv for an example “ So You Think That You Can Dance” and performed by dance classes/companies around the world.
In Jazz music the jazz musicians use different instruments for different jazz pieces or songs, such as the Trumpet that was first used in military purposes. Studies of jazz finds out the ancient people used different materials like animal horns. The Saxophone comes in a lot of different sizes and types known as the Baritone Sax, Soprano Sax, Alto Sax, and Tenor Sax. The Baritone Sax is considered to be newer than most musical instruments but, that is also in terms of music history.
There are at least only three more instruments that I want to talk about they’re Piano, Trombone and the Drums. The piano is popular keyboard instrument for children and adults. Most of the classical musicians use the piano in for different genres. The Trombone is from the trumpets but shaped differently. Drum sets are a big part of some jazz pieces, including the Bass Drum, Snare Drum, Cymbals, and other things.
