 The Red Hot Jazz Archive
Jazz represented a break from Western musical traditions, where the composer wrote a piece of music on paper and the musicians then tried their best to play exactly what was in the score.
Many of these virtuoso musicians were not good sight readers and some could not read music at all, never the less their playing thrilled audiences and the spontaneous music they created captured a joy and sense of adventure that was an exciting and radical departure from the music of that time.
Most of these men could not make a living with their music and were forced to work menial jobs to get by.

  Public Domain Music from Royalty Free Music.com
Add to that the complications that the Internet has brought to music copyright and will bring to works in the future as they begin to reach the age of being able to enter the public domain and there is a truly confusing situation.
Many people looking to use pieces of music that do not want to go through the painstaking process of determining their copyright dates and statuses are turning to alternatives such as low cost royalty free music, buyout music or even hiring composers and song-writers to create songs for their projects or performances.
Recent laws passed to protect music and extend copyright for certain works have made it so that the latest copyright date for a piece of music to be considered public domain is 1923.
