Jazz
Have you ever wondered where the term “jazz” came from or where the music style originated from? Jazz has greatly influenced American culture.
Jazz is commonly referred to as “America’s classical music,” and it is one of North America’s oldest and most celebrated musical genres.
Jazz originated from African American communities in the 19th and 20th centuries and most commonly uses blues tones and improvisation. It has brought pride to African American culture for more than 100 years.
The term “jazz” used to be a West Coast slang term referring to Chicago music in the early 1900s. A jazzbow player was known as a lady lover, and early jazz men equated jazz with sex. Some literary scholars even say that the term “jazz” originated from Chaucer and Shakespeare. On the other hand, musician and songwriter Clarence Williams credits himself with being the first to use the word in a song.
Throughout the history of music, the sounds of jazz with its strong rhythmic under-structure, blue notes, solos, call- and-response patterns and melody improvisation, has established an inventive style.
Jazz music is most familiar to recognize by the instruments used: saxophone, vibraphone, trumpet, piano, guitar, double bass, bass guitar, trombone, drums and of course vocals.
From jazz, a variety of subgenres were created, from Ragtime and Blues to Big Band and Bebop. Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis and Billie Holiday are some of the most well-known jazz artists and creators. These and many others of their day have inspired modern musicians. New Orleans, Chicago and New York City are renowned jazz cities that still exude the jazz culture and spirit.
Brian Sax Allen has also been inspired by jazz history. He’s a great saxophone player who developed multiple bands. His exceptional jazz band is called Phantom Jazz, and they play all types of jazz from straight-ahead and swing to standards and smooth.
Jazz is perfect for every occasion, from background music to dancing music, quiet dinners and cocktails hours, to parties, festivals and club events.
