	Jazz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		Early jazz influences found their first mainstream expression in the marching band and dance band music of the day, which was the standard form of popular concert music at the turn of century.

	Jazz royalty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jazz royalty is a term that reflects the many great jazz musicians who have some sort of royal title in their names or nicknames.
		Oliver was known as "King Oliver" in Chicago, and still regarded as the jazz king as late as 1925, when Louis Armstrong returned to Chicago from New York City.
		Many other jazz greats had nicknames that were not royalty-related, but some consider them to be part of the royalty anyway -- purely because their skill as musicians merits a place on the list with the best:

	Essence: Jazz (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Jazz is the portrait of a people in sound: drums that echo your heartbeat, even when it flutters; trumpets that laugh and saxophones that scream 'cause, like James Brown, they feel good.
		Jazz is the brother's stance and rhythmic swagger, the sister's sway-back and all the attitude you thought you had in your hip pocket.
		Jazz is the father of hipness, the mother of invention and a Black philosophy of life without words.

		Jazz performers improvise within the conventions of their chosen style, usually to the accompaniment of a repeated chord progression.
		The birthplace of Jazz music is said to be New Orleans amongst the Black American and Creoles at the turn of the 20th century, between the 1890's and the 1900's, "Ragtime" and the Blues was the new music craze.
		By the 1930's Jazz had developed a new musical direction into so called Big Bands, when groups of Jazz musicians played together, and the best developers of this form were Duke Ellington, Fletcher Henderson and Count Basie, and when singers such as Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday were the leading vocalists.

	Definition of Swing music
		Swing music, also known as swing jazz, is a form of jazz music that solidified as a distinctive style during the 1930s, in the United States.
		Swing is distinguished primarily by a strong rhythm section, usually consisting of double bass and drums, medium to fast tempo, and the distinctive "swing" that's common to all forms of jazz.
		As jazz in general, and swing jazz in particular, began to grow in popularity throughout the States, a number of changes occurred in the culture that surrounded the music.

		Hancock, one of three artists in town this weekend who were named "Jazz Masters" recently by the National Endowment for the Arts (vocalist Nancy Wilson and guitarist Jim Hall are the others), has joined Holland and DeJohnette as an offshoot of a celebration in Chicago for Hancock's 64th birthday.
		It was, by consensus, among the greatest jazz combos that ever was, producing such classic albums as "E.S.P.," "Miles Smiles," and "Nefertiti," while radically expanding and liberating existing approaches to rhythm and harmony.
		Although he was given the prestigious "Jazz Master" honor earlier this year by the National Endowment for the Arts, he tries not to think about it.

	JAM: February/March 2001 Issue: Folly Jazz News (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		As we continue our survey of jazz history during the Folly Theater's Centennial season, we are proud to present the Jimmy McGriff Quartet on Saturday, February 3 to represent "The Post-Bop Groove." In addition to organist McGriff, the group includes Wayne Boyd, guitar and vocals, Jerry Weldon, saxophone, and Don Williams, drums.
		His style has been described as being "somewhere between the jazz of Jimmy Smith and the RandB of Booker T. and the MGs." With his winning mix of blues, swing, funk, and gospel-derived sounds, McGriff is an undisputed giant of the Hammond B-3 organ.
		Born into jazz royalty, so to speak, Monk, who seemed to spend all his free time at his father's recording sessions, began to secretly play drums at age 13 after quietly studying Art Blakey, Roy Haynes, Frankie Dunlop, Billy Higgins, Ben Riley and other jazz greats who recorded with his dad.

		And, should any tune from the album end up in a movie, film, television show, or jingle, the jazz royalty artist, like all other musicians who performed on the original recording, would be eligible for new use payments.
		Incidentally, in order for a record label to pay a jazz artist as a "royalty artist," (or, any other musician as a royalty artist), a copy of the royalty agreement has to be filed by the label with the office of the AFM.
		In the absence of such a filed agreement, jazz royalty artists are required to be paid full session wages for each session on which they work.

	The Seattle Times: Arts & Entertainment: A joyous evening with enduring legend
		KAZUYOSHI EHARA / AP Jazz pianist Oscar Peterson, 78, who had a stroke in 1993 that left him unable to use his left hand, played with élan at Jazz Alley Tuesday and received two standing ovations.
		With the regal yet relaxed air of jazz royalty — of which he is a charter member — pianist Oscar Peterson sat down at the piano Tuesday night before a full house and ruled the realm at Dimitriou's Jazz Alley ($75.50-$95.50; 206-441-9729).
		As jazz elders fall — Lewis, Ray Brown, Ray Charles, Elvin Jones, the Northwest's own Jabo Ward, Don Lanphere and Red Kelly — it's hard to feel anything but gratitude — and awe — in the presence of one who endures.

		Among these were Brubeck, who brought his entire family with him one summer, and the members of the Modern Jazz Quartet, who served as the "house band" for several summers.

		Armstrong had a powerful rival in Buddie Petit, who many ranked higher than young Armstrong in the 1919-1922 period.
		Armstrong's great respect and affection for Oliver was probably a factor in never claiming Oliver's kingship, although at the urging of his wife Lil Hardin Armstrong Louis Armstrong was billed as the "world's greatest jazz trumpeter", rendering Oliver's title more ceremonial than a claim of supremecy.
		Mamie Smith was billed as the "Queen of the Blues"; Bessie Smith outdid her with the billing "Empress of the Blues".

		Roy Haynes is easily one of the greatest drummers in the history of jazz.
		Though it's safe to say that the hard-swinging stickman remains largely unknown outside the jazz community — such is the plight of a sideman in a genre that mostly prizes pianists, horn players and guitarists.
		Called "one of the seven wonders of modern jazz" and "the reigning elder/master of the drum kit" by Billboard magazine, Haynes' resume is the stuff of dreams.

		The instrumental selections are led by co-creator William Knowles on piano, Brian Ritter on drums and the glacier-cool Billy Johnson on bass, a man so wedded to his instrument it's hard to tell where one ends and the other begins.
		Amazingly, with 30 jazz selections from 13 different artists, it takes only two very hard working performers to deliver the rest of the show.
		"Jazz Royalty" plays at the Stackner Cabaret in downtown Milwaukee through May 9, plenty of time to see it.

		She cut her first date for Mercury in January 1946, and by the summer of ’48 her solo star was in rapid ascension.
		She recorded with trumpeters Clifford Brown and Clark Terry, drummer Max Roach, and saxophonists Lockjaw Davis and Cannonball Adderley in the mid-Fifties, utilized Quincy Jones’s budding talents as an arranger, and employed pianist Wynton Kelly, drummer Jimmy Cobb, and tenor saxophonist Eddie Chamblee in her combo for extended stretches.

	Peterson's magic still astounding
		Gradually, the bass takes the melodic lead, with the drums lilting the rhythm; next, Peterson's right hand flies off extemporaneously, cascading through melodic and chord changes, now supported by the guitar, whose turn to solo is at hand.
		In tribute to the late John Lewis (Modern Jazz Quartet), Peterson played "Prelude to JL," a delicate theme, as gentle as Lewis; later, in the concert's second hourlong set, the quartet honored the Jazz Quartet with a rollicking version of "Bags' Groove."
		Peterson may not be the two-fisted piano powerhouse he once was, but on this gig, his quartet is blowing up a storm of straight-ahead, no foolishness jazz -- and more power to it.
