	Jazz (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Jazz also reflects a continuing tension between individual freedom and group structure, as seen in the shifting emphasis between the spontaneously improvising soloist, on the one hand, and composed and arranged ensemble music, on the other hand.
		Three characteristics have distinguished jazz throughout its history: (1) improvisation; (2) a distinctive rhythmic approach known as swing; and (3) an expectation that each jazz musician should attain a unique, individual sound through his or her distinctive improvisational approach to harmony, melody, and rhythm, and often through intentional variations or distortions of tone and timbre.
		Although jazz musicians were part of this larger movement, their wide-ranging travels reflect the popularity of jazz among fls and whites in the United States and a growing audience abroad.

	How Jazz Musicians Practice
		Jazz pianists practice melodic playing in a variety of ways: melody alone, with L.H. accompaniment, in 3rds, 6ths and other intervals, thickened with one or two handed chords, etc. Melodic playing is also a key part of improvising.
		Jazz pianists may stagger their time between working on specific devices as an exercise and working on the devices within a song.
		Jazz is essentially an aural tradition as echoed in the phrase "the records are the textbooks." The extensive texts, methods, transcriptions, and resources on all aspects of how to play jazz are a relatively recent phenomenon.

	The World of Jazz - Larousse Encyclopedia of Music
		If there is a factor common to all jazz performances, it is that the musician is creating his own melodic variations on a given melodic theme, these variations being based on the underlying harmonies of the original material, the whole being conceived against a background of rhythmic syncopation.
		Unlike all other jazz orchestral writers, Ellington wrote not for grouped instruments, but for the individuals who played those instruments, so that the number of different effects he could achieve with a simple c major chord was limited only by the number of permutations he could command in a band of fifteen men.
		Already the jazz musician, frustrated by the limitations of harmony, is rejecting this convention and in the process of destroying the frame which has lent coherence to his art in the past.

	jazz pianists
		Jazz was everywhere in Chicago, and Cole's school was a musical hotbed, producing musicians of the stature of Ray Nance, Eddie South and Milt Hinton.
		By 1948, and Nature Boy (a US number 1), on which Cole was accompanied by Frank DeVol's Orchestra, the move away from small group jazz, towards his eventual position as one of the most popular vocalists of the day, was well under way.
		Perhaps, like Louis Armstrong, the most moving aspect of his legacy is the way his music cuts across the usual boundaries—chart watchers and jazz heads, rock ‘n’ rollers and MOR fans can all have a good time with his music.
