The essence of the sound of Jazz music is so versatile due to
the origins from which it first began.
In fact, New Orleans, Louisiana is the place where Jazz first began
between 1850 and 1900 by African slaves as well as the freed people of color.
The first style of Jazz music was known as Dixieland.
In Africa from the Middle to Central to the West, one can hear the intricate
rhythmic improvisation of the percussive instruments that is often heard with Jazz Music.
These rhythms combined with the American Spirituals, Hymns, Blues, and the blue grass hillbilly musical sounds created a type of sound the originated in Jazz music. However, the music was just a peculiar sound without a particular title to call it fifteen years later in 1915. The great pianist Earl Hines born in 1903 played this type of music before the title Jazz became an official style of music.
The word "Jazz" which was formerly spelled as "Jass" has it's origins
as a type of American slang used to describe the sound of Jazz music.
It is the sound of Jazz music that began as an offspring from
the origins that created this music. In the beginning of the century
the instruments used in Jazz music were European percussion,
brass and woodwind instruments primarily for the military
marching or dance bands.
Moreover, these instruments were used in the funeral marches in
the deeper party of the southern area and well as the northern.
The essence of the origins of Jazz music finally became developed into
it's own style with an original shape. In addition, origins of Jazz music
expanded the style to the point where it cannot be defined as pure
folk music even when some of its roots began there.
Once the education system included the study of music to train musicians
in a formal setting it paved the way for many to learn the techniques to create music
from the heart. The importance of the origins of Jazz music is to learn all about
the sound that many have fell in love with.
Jazz music represents freedom to create color and sound that can be interpreted best by the performers and composers who create this style of music. The origins of Jazz music has been a subject worth debating over when it comes down to labeling it a particular style. Duke Ellington himself explained it as "It's all music" due to the fact that the music has no particular structure or form it has to take.
Jazz music is not a simple style that can easily be defined except
as free music that can easily meld into other styles of music to take it
to another level. Jazz music itself is an innovation of African, Impressionist, Spiritual, Hymnal, Blues and Blue Grass hillbilly music simultaneously
combined into a music masterpiece.
The essence of the sound of Jazz music comes from
the different musical elements from each part its origins as putting pieces of a puzzle together into one cohesive entity.
