Answer 2

Jazz Music originated in the southern US and ragtime and blues are generally considered to be the two musical styles from which jazz arose. Both blues and ragtime became popular in the 1890s. When the public began to become tired of ragtime in the 1920s, ragtime was combined with blues to form a new style called "Dixieland jazz."

Ragtime music was played on piano with two hands, with the left hand playing a marching bass line, and with the right hand playing the melody. Ragtime songs introduced the syncopation ("ragged" melody) that characterized jazz, but usually did not have a section for improvisation, which is one of the main characteristics of a jazz composition. However, blues typically included improvisation. When band instruments (especially horns) began to play those ragtime songs and began to include sections reserved for improvisation, the result was Dixieland jazz, which had some of the most important characteristics of modern jazz: syncopated rhythm, improvisation, and horns.

Dixieland jazz split off into a subgenre called "swing" in the 1930s, which further split into a subgenre called "bebop" in the 1940s, which is when complicated chords began to be used, which gave jazz a unique sound not found in classical, pop, rock, or any other type of music. It is the characteristics of syncopated rhythm, improvisation, horns, and complicated chords that are some the main characteristics of modern jazz. Bebop is the standard jazz sound heard today, although jazz has continued to branch into subgenres that incorporate genres such as classical, rock, pop, electronica, and hip-hop.
