Bluegrass as a style developed during the mid-1940s. Because of
war rationing, recording was limited during that time, and it would
be most accurate to say that bluegrass was played some time after
World War II, but no earlier.
As with any musical genre, no one person can claim to have
"invented" it. Rather, bluegrass is an amalgam of old-time music,
country, ragtime and jazz. Nevertheless, bluegrass's beginnings can
be traced to one band. Today Bill Monroe is referred to as the
"founding father" of bluegrass music; the bluegrass style was named
for his band, the Blue Grass Boys, formed in 1939.
