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. :-

Jazz is the only musical form that originated in America which influenced musical development throughout the Western world. This music created by obscure black musicians in the late 19th century, at first was a synthesis of Western harmonic language and combined with the rhythms and melodic inflections of African music. Using the popular tunes of the day, black musicians created variations of them through improvisation (variations on a melody line) and syncopation (placing accent on the normally weak beat of a measure) and intonation that was considered "out of tune" to Western classical music.
