What is Jazz?
Chapter 1
The World of Jazz
Originated in America, but played around the world
Heard in a variety of settings:
Concert halls
Ballrooms
Night clubs
Radio
Jazz is a fine art - Not a passing fad!
Old styles still being played / new styles always being developed
Defining Jazz
The term “jazz” has a variety of meanings depending on:
What type of music is being described
Who is using it
Two aspects common to all jazz styles:
IMPROVISATION
SWING FEELING
Studying Different Jazz Styles Historically
Different varieties of jazz are grouped into categories called STYLES
Categorized by:
Particular ways the musicians like to improvise
Different types of harmonies and rhythms
Examples: Dixieland and Bebop
Some important thoughts to consider:
No musician created a style entirely on their own
Jazz history is not a single stream of styles from one to another
Each new style does not render the previous ones obsolete
