Duke Ellington was born in Washington D.C in April 29,1899

The attempted fusion of the two genres initiated by jazz musicians in an attempt cash into the much larger market for rock music than for jazz, sometimes successfully achieved and more often a dismal failure. Nevertheless, a few iconic recordings came about because of it, namely Herbie Hancock's "Head Hunters" and some of the earlier recordings by Joe Zawinul's seminal jazz/rock band, "Weather Report". Of course, there were many more successful recordings as well as the best forgotten. Today, jazz/rock fusion is mainly an historical footnote in the history of jazz music though it still pops up its head from time to time.

Usually a piano, bass, and drums, with one or two horns.

Caravan Palace. They are an excellent electro swing band.

i dont know for better answer just find it on google

Absolutely! As an African-American who lived before, after, and during the Civil Rights Movement, he experienced discrimination most everywhere he went. For example, St. Louis, MO, 1931: In St. Louis, Missouri, Duke and his band were scheduled to perform for a live radio broadcast, and needed to get to the sixteenth floor of the building to enter the studio. In order to ascend to the studio, Duke and the band needed to use the elevator, and when they tried to use the white elevator, were refused service by the operator. They were forced to use the freight elevator. (i'm writing a research paper on this stuff, so that's why it sounds kinda scholarly...) White House, President Hoover. Duke wanted to schedule a meeting with him, but was denied. "African American press accused President Hoover of being afraid to be photographed with African Americans." Hasse, p. 151

Cool and funk were the last styles of jazz to develop.

The Americans were mainly french and middle euorpean..deutch etc. They brang all their influences mainly in pitch, whislt the africans brang various rhythms and back line techniques with percussion.

North America also had the Germans with their rudiments. Then the slaves put their influence in with blues and couplet rhyme. All together combines to make the afro Cuban movement eventually

Vibraphones are considerably more common, as a rhythm or solo instrument. Jazz xylophone and marimba soloists are out there, though.

Jazz in America is a variety of styles that represent every part of America. It's important to open the hearts and minds of children about this type of musical expression, so they in turn can express their style to share with the world!

Any artistic field that allows a human being to create something uniquely to them is more than just important it's what makes us human. Sandy Coleman

Improvisation has played a role in virtually all musical genres, from the classics to jazz and rock. It is closely aligned with composition.

Music is first and foremost a spontaneous activity of self-expression. Therefore improvisation has played a role in almost all musical forms.

Time passed and 107.5 decided they should play popular songs according to people's interests now. They are now called 107.5 The Peyton.

Usually, it's the alto sax, tenor sax, barri sax, trumpet, trombone, drums and piano. In the older jazz bands and in some modern jazz bands, the clarinet and soprano sax are also included.

I believe it was 1985 - if I recall correctly, his group was the final act of the event on Sunday - it was a cloudy afternoon and my friends and I sailed a Hobie Kat to the beach in front of the stage, a caught their set.

Don Juan was the first film with sound, but it wasn't with dialogue. Don Juan had music playing in the background, but no one talked; it was shot as a silent film. The Jazz Singer was the first movie with dialogue in sound.

No but they are still close. I am actually a good friend of his step daughters and I know they frequently spend time together

Not exactly certain but some time in the 1920's. In that decade the ODJB, the popular white New Orleans band, did a tour in the U.K. As they were the first jazz band to record, it's likely that their records, that had had been released in the U.K., led to their being asked to tour. Subsequently, many jazz bands formed in the U.K. to play the "new" music.
