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.

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.

A punctured eardrum he suffered at birth.

Curiously, the three most prominent female jazz artists are all vocalists. Ella Fitzgerald, Billy Holiday, and Sarah Vaughn have all been wildly influential. Not all women in jazz stuck to singing, however, as Lil Hardin Armstrong was both a singer, pianist, composer and bandleader; Carmen McRae was also a singer, pianist and composer; and Dorothy Donogan was a significant piano player.

You need to rephrase this question. It does not make sense so cannot be answered.

I do Jazz in Australia I think that you can do jazz anywhere you like I do it at MJ dance studio in Mount Gambier SA 5290 post code< over there! So if you want to come join they take you to a hole new level!
