Jazz Styles

Jazz is a reflection of the history of this music from the 1890s to modern day. Many of the great classical composers have drawn on jazz for inspiration. Jazz can be divided into many periods and styles, e.g. :-

New Orleans, considered the birthplace of jazz, was a thriving international center of commerce at the turn of the century. Because of its location as a seaport on the Mississippi River, it became a melting pot for ethnically diverse cultures. Musical influences from Africa, Spain, Italy, South America, and French cultures combined with ragtime and other popular music of the day to create the New Orleans style. Key to its development was the combination of the aural tradition of the blues along with the imitation of the popular marching band style brought to national prominence by John Philip Sousa. The resultant music created a "ragging" effect or embellishment to the music by combining spontaneous melodic variations with syncopated rhythms.
