Believe it or not, Jazz was started by black Spirituals sung on plantations by slaves. The songs sung at the slave's secret church meetings had certain rhythms and different notes (called blue's notes) that made them different from traditional music. The songs were also used to pass along secret messages that only the slaves knew the meaning of. "Follow the Drinking Gourd" meant follow the North star tonight to escape to the north and become free.
As the spirituals began to evolve little by little, different elements were added that soon became jazz in the form of what it is today.
