		Jazz music popular in the 1930's and 1940's in which large numbers of musicians (as many as 25) performed and in which there was much less improvisation and more reliance on written-out arrangements.
		Also known as New Orleans style jazz which developed around 1910 and which draws on both ragtime and blues, particulary the syncopated rhythms and two-beat meter [a duple meter such a 4/4 in which the first and third beats are emphasized] of the latter.
		Jazz in which the rhythms are not swung, but are played exactly as written.

	Third Stream Jazz: Musical Crossroads Or Parallel Worlds? (Part I)
		Indeed, after the passing of the Symphonic Jazz trend of the mid-twenties, yet another manifestation arose in the late fifties with the appearance of so-called "Third Stream Jazz".
		Until then, jazz was roughly divided into two camps, the "traditional", which ranged from New Orleans to Swing, and the "modern", which covered the post-war styles, namely, be-bop, cool and hardbop.
		But with Third Stream Jazz, the music was once more looking beyond its own stylistic parameters.3 As for the term itself, it was the brainchild of the American composer, musicologist and historian Gunther Schuller, coined during a lecture given in 1957.

		At the outset, jazz was slow to win acceptance by the general public, not only because of its cultural origin, but also because it tended to suggest loose morals and low social status.
		Jazz is generally thought to have begun in New Orleans, spreading to Chicago, Kansas City, New York City, and the West Coast.
		The blues, vocal and instrumental, was and is a vital component of jazz, which includes, roughly in order of appearance: ragtime; New Orleans or Dixieland jazz; swing; bop, or bebop; progressive, or cool, jazz; neo-bop, or hard-bop; third stream; mainstream modern; Latin-jazz; jazz-rock; and avant-garde or free jazz.

		The earliest form of jazz to exert a wide appeal, ragtime was basically a piano style emphasizing syncopation and polyrhythm.
		The influence of two swing musicians, the tenor saxophonist Lester Young and the drummer Jo Jones, was of paramount importance in influencing the harmonic and rhythmic direction of bop.
		Third, avant-garde or free jazz leaders such as John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, Eric Dolphy, Pharaoh Sanders, Archie Shepp, Cecil Taylor, and Rahsaan Roland Kirk continued to explore new harmonic, melodic, and rhythmic relationships.

	Third Stream - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Third Stream music is a term coined in 1957 by Gunther Schuller to describe a musical genre which is a synthesis of classical music and jazz.
		Third Stream is notably separate from the "symphonic jazz" movement of the 1920s in that it involves improvisation.
		Third Stream Music will arguably be realized in its truest sense when more musicians learn at least basic jazz improvisation and style (especially players of traditionally "non-jazz" instruments such as strings, horn, double reed, etc.), thus opening up the possibilities of improvisation throughout the ensemble.

		After taking the Creole Jazz Band on tour throughout the Midwest and east coast, Oliver made a solo tour of New York where he was a guest of cornetist Dave Peyton.
		He was interviewed by the Smithsonian folkways project in the 1930s and he often bragged that he invented jazz and was its greatest musician.
		Hines major contribution to jazz would be to make the piano more of a solo instrument as opposed to it being an accompanying instrument.

	jazz music : origins : funk improvisation
		Jazz is an original American musical art form originating around the start of the 20th century in New Orleans, rooted in Western music technique and theory and marked by the profound cultural contributions of African Americans.
		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.
		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
		Jazz, commonly referred to as "jass" until the latter stages of World War I, emerged at around the turn of the century.
		The role of ragtime in the development of early jazz has been debated by music historians for most of the twentieth century; some consider it to be the first jazz style, while others feel that it was just one of many American pop music genres which influenced the formation of jazz.
		Given the richness and diversity of jazz history, in addition to the conventions employed by its exponents, it would seem to be virtually impossible to deploy a definitive definition of this art form.

	BIRTH OF THE THIRD STREAM
		Jazz had been steadily evolving since the early forties and the advent of bop -- a much less intuitive and "natural" style of jazz, demanding greater technical mastery and reviled as "Chinese music" by traditionalists like Louis Armstrong.
		It was a time in which jazz was growing in all directions, and jazz musicians were chafing at barriers and artificially imposed limitations to their music.
		But putting a name -- "Third Stream" -- to it seemed to crystallize opposition, both to the concept and the name itself, which was mocked and derided in some quarters as academic pomposity, an attempt to dress up jazz in tuxedos and put on airs.

	Jazz Styles: Mainstream Jazz: Cool Jazz
		Cool jazz is a style that is generally described as a reaction of sorts against bebop - one that deemphasises technical virtuosity in favor of lyricism.
		Cool jazz tended to feature harmonies and horn arrangements that were more complex than the simple head arrangements of bebop, but the tempos and the pace of the solos were less frantic.
		To some, this term refers to a specific form of cool jazz in which there is rarely a piano and in which harmonies are stated by the horns arranged in counterpoint - not unlike the music of old New Orleans in this respect, but with a more controlled, even classical sound.
