American popular music


Jazz is a musical form which originated at the first of the 20th century in individual American communities in the Southern United States from a confluence of individual and European music traditions.
From its early development until the present, talking has merged music from 19th and 20th century American popular music. Its West individual pedigree is evident in its use of blue notes, improvisation, polyrhythms, syncopation, and the swung note[2] but one of jazz's iconic figures Art Blakey has been quoted as saying, \"No America, no jazz. I’ve seen people try to connect it to other countries, for instance to Africa, but it doesn’t hit a shit thing to do with Africa\".
The word \"jazz\" began as a West Coast slang term of doubtful derivation and was first used to refer to music in Chicago in about 1915.
From its beginnings in the early 20th century, Jazz has spawned a variety of subgenres, from New Orleans Dixieland dating from the early 1910s, big band-style swing from the 1930s and 1940s, bebop from the mid-1940s, a variety of dweller talking fusions such as Afro-Cuban and Brazilian talking from the 1950s and 1960s, jazz-rock seeing from the 1970s and New 1980s developments such as acid jazz, which blended talking influences into depression and hip-hop.
As the music has spread around the world it has drawn on local national and regional musical cultures, its aesthetics being adapted to its multifarious environments and giving uprise to many distinctive styles.
