Jazz has been called “the art of expression set to music”, and “America’s great contribution to
music”. It has functioned as popular art and enjoyed periods of fairly widespread public response, in
the “jazz age” of the 1920s, in the “swing era” of the late 1930s and in the peak popularity of
modern jazz in the late 1950s. The standard legend about Jazz is that it originated around the end of
the 19th century in New Orleans and moved up the Mississippi River to Memphis, St. Louis, and
finally to Chicago. It welded together the elements of Ragtime, marching band music, and the
Blues. However, the influences of what led to those early sounds go back to tribal African drum
beats and European musical structures. Buddy Bolden, aNew Orleans barber and cornet player, is
generally considered to have been the first real Jazz musician, around 1891.
What made Jazz significantly different from the other earlier forms of music was the use of
improvisation. Jazz displayed a break from traditional music where a composer wrote an entire
piece of music on paper, leaving the musicians to break their backs playing exactly what was
written on the score. In a Jazz piece, however, the song is simply a starting point, or sort
of skeletal guide for the Jazz musicians to improvise around. Actually, many of the early Jazz
musicians were bad sight readers and some couldn’t even read music at all. Generally speaking,
these early musicians couldn’t make very much money and were stuck working menial jobs to
make a living. The second wave of New Orleans Jazz musicians included such memorable players
as Joe Oliver, Kid Ory, and Jelly Roll Morton. These men formed small bands and took the music
of earlier musicians, improved its complexity, and gained greater success. This music is known as
“hot Jazz” due to the enormously fast speeds and rhythmic drive.
A young cornet player by the name of Louis Armstrong was discovered by Joe Oliver inNew
Orleans. He soon grew up to become one of the greatest and most successful musicians of all time,
and later one of the biggest stars in the world. The impact of Armstrong and other talented early
Jazz musicians changed the way we look at music.
