My mind automatically thinks of the deep double bass, the seductive saxophone, the arrogant trumpet, the confidant piano, and the crisp drum set. Together, these instruments create amazing music that have so much emotion and history.
Where did jazz even come from?!
Lets jump back in time to just right after the Civil War. Slaves were still in existence and working in the fields. To get their mind off the work, sun, and life, the slaves would sing. These songs they would sing were called "Blues" which originated from Africa. Blues is a combination of mood and structure from the African and American music. As time went by, these work songs from Africa were passed around and slowly changed. These changes through time and culture created what we know as jazz. Examples of jazz can be heard from great players like Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, and many many more.
This acid jazz piece is by Miles Davis called "Mystery."
