	Jazz blues - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jazz blues is a musical style that combines jazz and blues.
		The term also refers to any tune that follows the standard 12-bar blues chord progression, whilst being played in the jazz style, rather than the traditional blues style.
		Blues music was a major influence in the development of jazz, and such tunes -- "jazz blueses" -- are extremely common in the jazz repertiore.

	Jazz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jazz has roots in the combination of Western and African music traditions, including spirituals, blues and ragtime, stemming ultimately from West Africa, western Sahel, and New England's religious hymns and hillbilly music, as well as in European military band music.
		At the root of jazz is the blues, the folk music of former enslaved Africans in the U.S. South and their descendants, heavily influenced by West African cultural and musical traditions, that evolved as fl musicians migrated to the cities.
		In addition, it could be argued that jazz would not exist without both instruments invented or developed by Europeans (the trumpet, saxophone, trombone, double bass, etc.) and the previous work of Europeans in music theory, which was explored in different ways by jazz musicians, such as increased use of the seventh chord and extended chords.

		The classic female blues singers of the 1920s were the first to get on record and the first to have hits in the genre, subsequently reaching a national audience and starting the first great push in recording blues music of all styles.
		Although virtually all jazz groups prior to the rise of bebop in the early to mid-'40s played for dancers, the term "dance bands" is used to describe orchestras of the 1920s and '30s whose primary function was to play background music for dancers rather than to serve as vehicles for jazz improvisations.
		Groove is a sub-set of soul-jazz, one that is injected with the blues and concentrates on the rhythm.

	Spotlight Biography: Jazz & Blues
		As early as the 1860s, African Americans were using the term "blues" to describe a state of mind, later applying it to a song form that powerfully expressed the yearnings of love and the bleak realities of poverty and racism.
		The blues provided rich source material for Handy's compositions, and ultimately his greatest achievement was the synthesis of traditional blues melodies with the style and instrumentation of popular ragtime and jazz.
		Jazz was not only a style of music and dance, but also a mood craved by young patrons who packed the clubs of Harlem in search of innovation, excitement, and illicit alcohol.
