ROOTS OF EARLY
JAZZ An Overview of The Origins of Jazz and Its Development Jazz began as an improvisation,
from a mutation of African tribal rhythms, work songs of Southern field
hands, fused with Creole styles of African-American Brass Bands at social
gatherings together with. Ragtime styles emanating from Storyville parlors
mixed with 'Blue notes' which combined with improvisation and syncopation
gave birth to 'Jazz' in Louisiana'. As the music migrated north to Chicago it
mutated again, influenced by early 'City' Jazz Bands. This book concentrates
on the earliest period. Included is an extended discography of obscure Record
companies relating to early Danceband and early Jazz. |
