I have been looking forward to this one because I love music. I love all kinds of music, and today we are going to talk about Jazz. Jazz is one of the earliest forms of pop music in The United States and Jazz is a distinctively American style of music originating in the early decades of the 20th century. Its roots include Afro-American folk music traditions, such as spirituals, work songs, and blues.
Jazz music is much more lively and upbeat than blues music. Jazz is often associated with swinging and swaying movements, lively atmospheres and improv. Lots of modern musicians will say they are greatly influenced by Jazz. Some of the great Jazz musicians include Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, John Coltrane, Bessie Smith, Fletcher Henderson, and Billie Holiday.
In fact, Performers like Elvis Pressley, Chuck Berry, The Rolling Stones, The Doors, The Grateful Dead, and Aerosmith all talk about their Jazz influences. Music styles like Rock, R&B, Hip-hop, Latin, and others that produce a swaying rhythm have been influenced by Jazz.
In today’s podcast we have a very special guest, the very accomplished Loren Schoenberg. He is the Founding Director at The National Jazz Museum in Harlem, a published author, and teaches Jazz History at The Julliard School in NYC.
Always more to learn. Talk to you soon.
