	KEN NORDINE
		Word Jazz is the name Ken gave to the unique art form he invented as a creative diversion from his day job.
		The renewed interest in Word Jazz encouraged Nordine to try something he had rarely done before performing in front of a live audience.
		Falling into the cracks somewhere between Beat poetry, shaggy-dog storytelling and standup comedy (delivered sitting down), Word Jazz earned Nordine an avid cult following, with the release of a string of albums on various labels in the late 1950s and early '60s, and a National Public Radio series in the 80s.

		The word rap, derived from a 1960s slang word for conversation, generally consists of chanted, often improvised, street poetry accompanied by a montage of well-known recordings, usually disco or funk.
		Detractors have criticized most rap music as a boastful promotion of violence and misogyny; others have admired it as an inventive manipulation of cultural idioms and credit many rappers with an acute social and political awareness.
		Rap has influenced many forms of popular culture, particularly film, and has been increasingly incorporated into pop music.

	Jazz to Swing
		Duke Ellington is said to have despised the word jazz because he doubted the ability of one word to describe so much music.
		Swing was not only successful in making jazz commercial, but also in making it acceptable to the white population.
		Also, because jazz was largely a product of black musicians it was shunned by a still prejudiced America.

	Make a Jazz Noise Here - (Reviews)
		There are plenty of "jams" in the jazz sense of the word, not the Grateful Dead sense of the word.
		One of three releases showcasing his talented but short-lived 1988 big band, Make a Jazz Noise Here features Zappa's group on extended jams, some of his most ambitious instrumental works, and a few requisite concert favorites.
		Having heard well over half of Zappa's output before picking this up, I was a little surprised that it became one of my favorite listens almost immediately.

	Aspen no. 1, item 2: Jazz: A Cool Duel
		And the word "jass" or "jazz" didn't—and still doesn't, refer to the music at all, but to the sexual activity engaged in by the girls on call.
		Jazz derives much of its impetus from the contrast between the rhythms of the soloists and the generally steady pulsation of the bass and drums.
		The old-time jazz man didn't know that two and two was four, this being true because he was instinctively aware of the fact that no two was ever equal to another two because no ones were ever alike.

	Jazz Dance History
		Jazz originated at the close of the nineteenth century in the seamy dance halls and brothels of the South and Midwest where the word Jazz commonly referred to sexual intercourse.
		The first jazz bands contained a "rhythm section" consisting of a string bass, drums, and a guitar or banjo, and a "melodic section" with one or two cornets, a trombone, a clarinet, and sometimes even a violin.
		But New Orleans was and still remains an important jazz center.

	Jazz All About Jazz
		Both the music and the word "jazz" first appeared on a record label in February of 1917 when Victor records released "Tiger Rag" and Livery Stable Blues" by the Original Dixieland Jass Band (sic).
		In all actuality, it was Dixieland jazz or traditional New Orleans jazz they were forming with the second element that being the blues.
		To typify traditional New Orleans jazz, I will go out on a limb and say that this style of jazz is only a step away from the marching brass band music.

	Jazz Trombone, page 1
		Such musical expressions such as swing feel, jazz articulations, and timbrel characteristics can only be learned through extensive listening, since the written word and notated music can only approximate these concepts.
		As such, all jazz students should be encouraged to take the following transcriptions and analyses as a means to begin their own exploration into this music, and not as an end in itself.
		Dixieland jazz was primarily improvised music, but each instrument improvised in a particular way.

	"Let's Rap" - JAZZ
		I use the word generalize because I wish it understood that jazz is very complex indeed, and that it is necessary that the student do much serious study on many different points.
		Instead of a brush, palette, and paint, the jazz musician uses his brain and fine technique, his instrument, and just twelve notes to put on a "canvas of sound" his feelings, thoughts and emotions.
		Well, the art of jazz is involved and demanding, and its needs require such characteristics from those who would practice it.

	N. F. PICI, Music in Morrison's Jazz
		Even the first word of the novel, "Sth," recalls the sound of a ride cymbal (the principal cymbal of jazz drum rhythms) or, as Rodrigues suggests, the "muted soundsplash of a brush against a snare drum" (733).
		First, since much of jazz is improvised, the musicians in a jazz group could be said to be constantly communicating with each other using their special brand of musical language: they inhabit a musical environment in which one musician must be constantly responding to and provoking the others.
		A fourth characteristic of jazz, according to Morrison, locates the music in a historical framework, the author suggesting that she intended for the music to function as an embodiment of the ethos of the African-American experience during the 1920s, the time in which the novel's story takes place.

	Branford Marsalis
		The drummer's own contribution to the album is the surprising jazz hoedown "Countronious Rex." "Black Americans use the word 'country' to supplant 'hick' or 'rube,'" Branford notes.
		Contemporary Jazz as played by the quartet also includes the heartfelt balladry of Revis' "Ayanna" and Branford's own "Requiem," which might be considered the title track from his last album.
		In letting the information fly on Contemporary Jazz, Branford's quartet has created a program of uniformly high quality, yet diverse and often mercurial moods.

	Independent Lens . EVERY CHILD IS BORN A POET: The Life and Work of Piri Thomas . The Poems PBS
		Thomas mixes his spoken word poetry with Latin jazz, Caribbean music, salsa, rhythm and blues and gospel music.
		Thomas is also well-known as one of the pioneers of spoken word poetry, a form of poetry performance that has its roots in hip hop, performance art and the Beat poetry movement.
		By performing aloud, spoken word artists succeed in taking poetry out of the academia and onto the streets, breaking down barriers and making it accessible—both in its creation and its consumption—by the poor, the young and by other marginalized communities.
