		Jazz is rooted in the blues, the folk music of former enslaved Africans in the U.S. South and their descendants, which is influenced by West African cultural and musical traditions that evolved as fl musicians migrated to the cities.
		Jazz as a genre is often difficult to define, but improvisation is a key element of the form.
		Brazilian jazz is synonymous with bossa nova, a Brazilian popular style which is derived from samba with influences from jazz as well as other 20th-century classical and popular music.

		While contemporary jazz musicians will study jazz from the 1920s and 1930s, they rarely attempt to duplicate those styles exactly (unless they are playing in a repertory band or trad jazz outfit); but all young jazz musicians are expected to learn bebop repertoire and style thoroughly.
		Free jazz and avant-garde jazz, are two partially overlapping subgenres that, while rooted in bebop, typically use less compositional material and allow performers more latitude.
		Jazz fusion music often uses mixed meters, odd time signatures, syncopation, and complex chords and harmonies, and fusion includes a number of electric instruments, such as the electric guitar, electric bass, electric piano, and later, in the 1980s, synthesizer keyboards.

		Jazz as promoted by Marsalis is at best "mainstream" and "traditional," and while good and derivative, it is neither innovative nor "vital." Jarrett is an extraordinary musician who has experimented widely and wildly and composed and improvised many incredible works as well as continuing to perform regularly in small jazz groups.
		Jazz is America’s greatest contribution to world culture but sadly has not been as widely appreciated in the United States as it has deserved.
		Jazz has evolved down many paths and part of the problem with it as an art form is that much of the press has turned its back on developments after the early 1960s.

	JAZZ - A film by Ken Burns DVD REVIEW (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		As Burns correctly put it in his statements in the MAKING OF JAZZ, a 15 minute featurette which the viewer should see before the actual Jazz program itself, the difficulty with the subject is clearly when to have the narration set the tone and when to let the music run its course, uninterrupted.
		Here, the MAKING OF JAZZ helps to grasp the filmmakers intention, as he explains the way how JAZZ was shot and written, edited and narrated, and why in the way that it was ultimately done.
		People interested in Jazz will undoubtedly enjoy it, but also people curious are not thrown off by it being too specific in terms of musical technicalities and hitting too hard on the subject or its "makers".

		Nevertheless, their recordings sold over a million copies and enabled jazz to be heard all over the country.
		Jazz began its development in New Orleans where King Oliver, a cornet player that Louis Armstrong idolized, was performing in the early 1900's.

	The Classical Jazz Information Page on Classic Cat
		Jazz is a musical art form that originated in New Orleans at around the start of the 20th century.
		In the 2000s, "jazz" hit the pop charts and blended with contemporary Urban music through the work of artists like Norah Jones, Jill Scott, Jamie Cullum, Erykah Badu, Amy Winehouse and Diana Krall and the jazz advocacy of performers who are also music educators (such as Jools Holland, Courtney Pine and Peter Cincotti).
		Village Voice jazz critic Gary Giddins argues that as the creation and dissemination of jazz is becoming increasingly institutionalized and dominated by major entertainment firms, jazz is facing a "...perilous future of respectability and disinterested acceptance".

	LIST OF MY JAZZ FAVOURITES
		A caveat to remember while interpreting an interest in a broad art form like "Jazz" etc: The bottom line of any art form for me is that it has to appeal to my soul and penetrates into the subconscious level and evoke a sublime feeling of pure artistic satisfaction.
		So that particular piece will have no appeal to me and I will not spend my time listening to it, regardless of how well known it is and how high it is the popularity chart.
		It also happens that I find most of the contemporary jazz as heard in concerts and in popularity charts as totally unappealing to me. So all these qualifications have to be taken into account when I say my I am interested in "Jazz".

		I know that all jazz artists probably are curious as to when do people actually listen to jazz...There are many assumptions that could be made.

		Morton took it a step further and proclaimed himself the “Inventor of Jazz and Stomps.” Once, in a rare moment of humility, Morton confessed that his innovative sense of ‘swing’ resulted from his inability to play ragtime pieces properly.
		He had to ‘fudge’ the notes and his improvisations led him to create loose, swinging rhythms that were more informal than ragtime, and sounded a lot more fun.
		Jazz scholar Alan Lomax commented on Morton’s Red Hot Peppers recordings, “There may be more deeply emotional and moving jazz records, but none are more subtly designed and brilliantly executed, none with such a rich harmonic texture, none touched with such true fire.

	Flute F o r u m : Playing Jazz on a Flute.
		A jazz bassist friend of mine made some kind of joking statement that "all the best sax players are also flute players" or vice versa.
		There sure are a lot of jazz pieces for flute, like serenade to a cuckoo (from roland kirk), this is a song you must hear!
		Also a great way to get better on jazz flute is to transcribe solos you hear from cd`s, which can be originally by any instrument, just use your ear and play along untill you eventually can do it as fast and accurately as the instrumentalist on the cd.

		Ask for the best 10 or 100 albums of all time and you'll get the usual suspects: "Kind of Blue," "Saxophone Colossus," Armstrong's "Hot Fives and Sevens", "Jazz at Massey Hall," etc. Without a doubt, these albums have earned their acclaim and no collection would be satisfying without them.
