JAZZ MUSIC

Play for music, the origins of the word jazz is one of the most sought after word origins in modern American English. The word's intrinsic interest - the American Dialect Society named it The word Century Twenty - has generated considerable research, and its history is well documented. As described in more detail below, jazz began as a West Coast slang term around 1912, which means that vary but do not refer to music or sex. Jazz came to mean jazz in Chicago around 1915. Jazz played in New Orleans before that time, but was not called jazz.

Jazz said made ​​one of the earliest appearance in San Francisco baseball writing in 1913. "Jazz was introduced to San Francisco in 1913 by William (Spike) Slattery, Call sports editor, and distributed by the leader of a band called Art-Hickman was reached. Chicago in 1915 but did not hear in New York until a year later." One of the uses of known the first of the word jazz came on March 3, 1913, article in the San Francisco Bulletin baseball by ET "Scoop" Gleeson.

Jazz can be very difficult to determine because it stretches from Ragtime to waltz fusion era of the 2000s. Although many attempts have been made to determine from the viewpoint of jazz beyond jazz, such as using the history of European music or African music, jazz critic Joachim Berendt argues that all such efforts are not satisfactory. One way to get around the problem of definition is to define jazz "term" is more widespread. Berendt defines jazz as a form of "art music which originated in the United States through the confrontation of blacks with European music", he argues that jazz differs from European music in jazz that has a "special relationship to time, which is defined as 'swing'," " a spontaneity and vitality of musical production in which improvisation plays a role ", and" sonority and manner expressions that mirror the individuality of jazz musicians perform ".

Travis Jackson also proposes a broader definition of jazz that is able to cover the entire era of radically different: he claims it is music that includes qualities such as' swinging ', improvising, group interaction, developing an' individual voice, and become 'open' to possibility of different music Krin Gabbard claimed that "jazz is a construct" or category that, while artificial, is still useful to designate "a number of musics with enough general to be understood as part of a coherent tradition".

While jazz may be difficult to define, improvisation is clearly one of the key elements. Early blues are generally structured around patterns of call-and-response is repeated, a common element in the African American oral tradition. A form of folk music which rose in part from work songs and field hollers of rural Black, early blues also highly improvisational. These features are fundamental to the nature of jazz. 
 
In jazz, however, expert players will interpret a song with a very individual ways, never playing the same composition exactly the same way twice. Depending on the mood of the players and personal experience, interactions with fellow musicians, or even members of the audience, a jazz musician / player can change the melodies, harmonies or time signature at will. European classical music composer media has said. Jazz, however, is often characterized as egalitarian product creativity, interaction and collaboration, placing equal value on the contributions of composers and actors, 'agile weight the claims of each composer and improvisation'.

In New Orleans and Dixieland jazz, performers took turns playing the melody, while others countermelodies improvisation. With the swing era, big bands come to rely more on arranged music: arrangements either written or learned by ear and memorized - many early jazz artists can not read music. Individual soloists would improvise within these arrangements. Later, in bebop the focus shifted towards small groups and minimal arrangements; melody (known as the "head") will be stated briefly at the beginning and end of the section, but the core of the performance will be a series of improvisations in the middle. Later jazz styles such as jazz capital of leaving strict notion of progress chord, which allows individual musicians to improvise even more freely within the context of a particular scale or mode. avant-garde and free jazz idioms permit, even call, leaving the chords, scales, and rhythmic meters.
There has long been debate in the jazz community over the definition and boundaries of "jazz". Although alteration or transformation of jazz by new influences has often been criticized as a debasement initially "," Andrew Gilbert argues that jazz has the ability "to absorb and transform influences" from diverse musical styles. While some enthusiasts of certain types of jazz argued for narrower definitions which exclude many kinds of music also known as the "jazz", jazz musicians themselves are often reluctant to define the music they play. Duke Ellington concluded by saying, "It's all music." Some critics have even stated that Ellington's music was not jazz because it set up and manage. At a friend the other hand Ellington twenty solo Earl Hines's "transformative versions" of the composition Ellington (on Earl Hines Plays Duke Ellington recorded in 1970) described by Ben Ratliff, New York Times jazz critic, as "a good example of the process of jazz as something out there ".

Commercially-oriented or popular music-influenced forms of jazz have both long been criticized, at least since the emergence of Bop. Traditional jazz enthusiasts have dismissed Bop, the 1970s jazz [the era of fusion and many others] as a period of decline in the commercial value of music. According to Bruce Johnson, jazz music has always had tension "between commercial music and jazz as an art form" Gilbert notes that. As the idea of ​​a canon of jazz is developing, "past achievements" can become "... privileged over special creativity ..." and innovation of artists at Village Voice. jazz critic Gary Giddins argues that as the creation and spread of jazz increasingly institutionalized and dominated by big entertainment companies, jazz is facing "a. .. a dangerous future of honor and acceptance are interested in" David Ake. warned that the creation of "norms" in jazz and the establishment of the jazz tradition "" may exclude or sideline other newer, avant-garde forms of jazz. Controversy also emerged over new forms of contemporary jazz is made outside the United States and depart significantly from the American style in one view they are an important part of jazz's current development;. in others they are sometimes criticized as a rejection of the jazz tradition is important.
