1 Jazz (Wikipedia) an original American musical art form originating around the early 1920s in New Orleans, rooted in Western music technique and theory, and is marked by the profound cultural contributions of African Americans. It is characterized by blue notes, syncopation, swing, call and response, polyrhythms, and improvisation. Jazz has been described as "America's Classical Music". Louis Armstrong

2 Origins of Jazz & American Popular Music Delta Blues & Tin Pan Alley

3 The Influence of the Blues American Roots Music d1, ch.4 Mississippi Delta Blues Son House ( ) Robert Johnson ( ) - influence on Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton & Cream Pine Top Smith & Boogie Woogie (1930 s) - led to rock&roll 1930 s - the influence of radio - dramatized in O Brother Where Art Thou (2002) Disney - Blue Rhythm (1931)

4 - The Blues Scale - America s original contribution to music - derived from the ubiquitous Pentatonic (five-note) scale by adding one note, making it a six-note ( Hexatonic ) scale - probably originated as an elaboration of African folk-melody made by slaves - became the basis of many popular music styles, including Blues (1920s), Country-Western (30 s & 40s), Rock & Roll (1950 s) Pentatonic scale Blues scale

5 Tin Pan Alley Popular Music at the Turn of the (20th) Century - New York City-centered music publishers and songwriters who dominated the popular music of the United States in the late 19th century and early 20th century. - originally a specific place, West 28th Street between Broadway and Sixth Avenue in Manhattan. -the name "Tin Pan Alley" was originally derogatory, a reference to the sound made by many pianos all playing different tunes in this small urban area, producing a cacophony comparable to banging on tin pans. - continued until the 1940 s-50 s when recordings took over from printed sheet music as the dominant form of pop music distribution. - some of the leading names: - Scott Joplin ( ) Ragtime Music The Entertainer Maple Leaf Rag - Irving Berlin ( ) Alexander s Ragtime Band, God Bless America White Christmas - George Gershwin Rhapsody in Blue

Clearly he is a major American composer." David Harrington, Kronos Quartet

12 PowerHouse (Raymond Scott, 1936) - in 1941 Warner Bros. bought the publishing rights to Scott s music - paved the way for Carl Stalling to use these melodies in Warner s animated films - PowerHouse is the most used of Scott s tunes in Warner Bros cartoons. - official WB montage: v=r3fln0iq9sq - Has also appeared on The Simpson s, Ren & Stimpy, Animaniacs, and is the bumper theme for The USA Cartoon Network - rock band Rush in 1978 La Villa Strangiato quotes Powerhouse.
