Difference between blues and jazz music?

Answer 1

Rock n roll was actually derived from the blues. Elvis, the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, just to name a few, got their melody, style, harmonica passion and heart felt lyrics that had the soul affect of the blues from many blues artists that they looked up to as an inspiration and many have collaborated with these great blues icons and still do. These artists include great legends such as Muddy Waters, Sam Cooke Chuck Barry, Howlin Wolf, Buddy Guy, and BB King, just to name a few as there are many past and current blues legends. Eventually, rock n roll moved on into a category of its own, but most of the classic rock big bands all have a little bit of blues in their heart and music.

Answer 2

The difference between jazz and blues music is that the blues uses a minor 3rd and chromatic 4 to 5 and minor 7. People usually use it to express emotion, but it isn't always used for that. Jazz can be sad too, look up any ballad that is slow and find one with chord changes that are minor, this does not make it blues, but it's still emotional.

Answer 3

Blues is to jazz like jazz is to music. Blues is just one of the many types of jazz. That means blues is jazz.

Actually, jazz developed from blues. So Jazz is a form of blues music, in a way.

Jazz typically keeps time on the cymbals and crash. Jazz focuses on more acoustic instruments. Jazz tends to go back and forth between various instruments soloing, or jazz will focus on one singer's soft melody throughout the song. Blues will often focus on only one instrument soloing, or blues will have a melody that is broken up by many short musical riffs. Blues will use both acoustic and electric instruments. Jazz focuses primarily on the swing/dance of the music or the technical skill of the musician (depending on the genre of jazz), but blues will focus more on "feeling" or emotion that the musician puts into the instrument.
