You can go to see jazz just about anywhere. Of course the radio but also you can go to either New York, Cape May or Philadelphia. New York is good because it has many jazz clubs. The Village Vanguard, Blue Note, Iridium, Birdland, Smalls, and many others. Cape May has the "Cape May Jazz Festival" which is a great jazz fest. Philadelphia has endless jazz clubs, such as Ortliebs, Chris's jazz cafe, Clef Club, Kimmel Center, and many more.

Jazz is a 20th century musical form, which grew out of ragtime and dixieland and developed about the same time as blues.

The word "jazz" was first applied to music in Chicago in 1915, although examples of the style of music can be found as early as 1905.

Jazz musicians use higher gauge strings than usual. This is because jazz guitarists play very technical musical compositions that require them to play more notes. If they did not use a higher gauge of string they would go out of tune too quickly and the music would sound poor. My experiment prooves that if musicians of certain genres such as jazz used strings with a gauge that is too low, they would go out of tune much faster. For example if a jazz artist were to use a string with a gauge of 42 it would last 24 seconds longer on average than if they used a gauge of 32.

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

Jazz bassist Rufus Reid is 73 years old (birthdate: February 10, 1944).

Sun Ra died on May 30, 1993 at the age of 79.

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.

I didn't know the age group you were talking about so I chose thing from the 5-12 years old catogory. Hopefully this helps, and sorry if certain songs aren't appropriate for the age group you were talking about. I hope you choose one of these! (:

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.

Yes she does. She has been photographed smoking candidly.

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.
