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. :-

The combination of popular soul and gospel tinged, dance-oriented music — fused with improvisation — offered an accessible approach to jazz, which broadened its appeal to a wider audience. Less cerebral than the avant garde and hard bop styles, soul jazz drew from and reacted to the rich cultural experience that defines the African-American culture. Soul music laid the rhythmic groove and emotional foundation for this style including influences by Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding, Ray Charles, James Brown, and Aretha Franklin. Musicians like saxophonist King Curtis and Hammond organist Jimmy Smith often portrayed the experiences of African-Americans by tying their music to cultural themes.
