Jazz Music

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.

Helen Burger Miller died in 1966 at age 64.

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.

Louis Armstrong

Jazz was popular in the United States and other countries during 1940-1960

The Monterey Jazz Festival debuted in 1958.

(See related link below for more information.)

Jazz came from American Folk Music, Romantic Classical Music, and African Tribal Music basically.

The syncopation and rythmns from African Tribal Music was adopted by romantic classical composers, and that all merged into the blues, which progressed to become jazz with a influence of the instruments and solos we see in American Folk music.

i smell under covers i die with my brothers and when on on the mic i represent all colors

Patti Page, Teresa Brewer, Connie Francis, Brenda Lee, Aretha Franklin, Dionne Warwick, Karen Carpenter, Olivia Newton-John, Diana Ross, Donna Summer, Helen Reddy, Barbra Streisand.

All were top artists in their decades.

Well, usually however much someone would like to pay, but I just saw one framed in the French Quarter (if it was real*) for $1900. There is one on ebay, current bid $725 with 3 days left. I believe there were 10,000 printed. Then there is the question of whether it was signed by hte artist which would increase its value, of course. Artists proofs can go for twice as much (or any amount really) if it is signed by the artist as well as the artist depicted ie. Fats Domino poster of 2006 which is currenty going for $2900. The unsigned version for $350.

*Just make sure they are authentic and not a photocopy, Jazz Festival authority should be able to authenticate

Primarily what is known as Harlem stride piano.

No. There has, pretty much, always been white musicians in jazz, at least from the early 1900's.

Before that, who knows? As there was no recording industry as such, there is no documentary or audi proof of what was going racially in jazz prior to the turn of the 19th century.

Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington (1899-1974) may not have changed history, but he was one of the most accomplished songwriters, band leaders and musicians in American history. He preferred not to be called strictly a jazz musician because he felt the tern was too limiting; only partly describing the kind of music he made. Still, he is regarded mostly as a jazz artist by musicians and fans, and is one of the four or five seminal figures in that genre, in any era.

Duke Ellington wrote over 1000 songs, alone and with collaborator Billy Strayhorn. Many of them have become standards, including "Take the 'A' Train," "Satin Doll," "Do Nothin' 'til You Hear from Me," "Chelsea Bridge," "Cottontail" and "Concerto for Cootie." Ellington wrote many songs to showcase the talents of particular band members: for example, "Cottontail" was written for saxophonist Ben Webster, and "Concerto for Cootie" for trumpeter Cootie Williams.

Ellington's orchestra had members who stayed in the outfit for 30-40 years. "The Duke" was a consummate professional who expected his band members to behave the same way. His musicians were never just "sidemen;" he saw them as stars and made sure the public did, too. He also paid good wages, and it was for all these reasons that he was respected, and musicians felt honored to be in his band.

Duke Ellington remains an indispensable figure in the jazz world 40 years after his death. His immortality rests on his gifts as a songwriter, and his ability to cultivate and nurture talent within his band. That so many players stayed with him for decades is a testament to his character and professionalism. His skill as a bandleader and pianist may have been equaled, but the Duke's ability to maintain such a high standard of songwriting, arranging and performing for over 50 years probably never will.

Sorry i do not know many... but i do know one VERY good modern day jazz player. His name is Jamie Cullum. You should look him up for more info on him. Sorry i couldn't supply more names.

no he was born MANY years after the civil war.

That is completely opinion oriented. If your asking for a personal opinion mine would be that I do not like Jazz music.....at all. But some peoples opinions could be different such as some people think it could be inspiring and friendly.

Bass us almost always in jazz, but rarely is it bowed. Except for a few rare circumstances, upright bass is always plucked with the finger. Violin is much less common, but still popular in jazz.

My Mom's first cousin, Bernard (Buddy) Rich was Jewish.

Annie Lennox is one female red haired singer from the 70's or 80's. Also, Tiffany is another red headed star from the 80's.

it's call stomp

Piano

You are probably thinking of Louis Armstrong.

No one jazz is still popular but young people are now listning to modern music so jazz is slowly becomming less popular although some kids do like jazz. It is very popular still with the old people who grew up with jazz.
