1 Jazz Jazz is a genre of music born in the African- American community in New Orleans in the early 20th century. It is a form of music that relies heavily on improvisation, syncopation, polyrhythms, and complex harmony. From the beginning, jazz was dance music. However, from the 1950 s to today you are as likely to find jazz in the concert hall as the nightclub. The creation of jazz came about through many musical influences: European harmony, African rhythms, work songs, spirituals and the blues, the brass band tradition, and ragtime. People around the world have hailed Jazz as America s original art form. Jazz was America s popular music from approximately 1918 through the 1950 s.

5 Edward Duke Ellington was an American composer, pianist, and big- band leader. Ellington wrote over 1,000 compositions. A major figure in the history of jazz, Ellington's music stretched into various other genres. His career spanned more than 50 years and included leading his orchestra, composing an inexhaustible songbook, scoring for movies, stage musicals, and world tours. Due to his inventive use of the orchestra, or big band, and thanks to his eloquence and extraordinary charisma, he is generally considered to have elevated the perception of jazz to an art form on a par with other traditional genres of music. His reputation increased after his death and the Pulitzer Prize Board bestowed on him a special posthumous honor in Ellington called his music "American Music" rather than jazz, and liked to describe those who impressed him as "beyond category." Paul Whiteman BgEbiV- k Count Basie Billie Holiday Ella Fitzgerald

6 Benny Goodman ( ) Born in Chicago of a family of poor Jewish immigrants from Warsaw. When he was 10, his father enrolled him in music lessons at the Kehelah Jacob Synagogue. The next year he joined the boy s club band at the Jane Addams Hull House, where he received instruction from Franz Schoepp, a classically trained clarinetist. Goodman was greatly influenced by New Orleans jazz clarinetists working in Chicago. He made his professional debut in 1921, and by the time he was 14 was playing in a band that featured Bix Beiderbecke. He led big bands through the 1930 s and 40 s and played in small jazz groups most notably the Bennie Goodman Quartet and Quintet. He was well known for his racially integrated jazz groups Carnegie Hall performance Glenn Miller

7 The Bebop Era Bebop jazz was created by musicians who were members of the big bands of the Swing era of the 30 s and 40 s. These musical innovators would gather in clubs to play after their dance band performances, experimenting with their improvisation, rhythms, chord progressions, and tempos, pushing each other to the limits of creativity. Bebop typically features faster tempos, more complex harmonies, and long, extended passages of improvisation. This music was more complex, more intellectual than Swing, and was not usually considered music to dance to. Rather, audiences would gather in clubs to listen to these artists play. Charlie Parker (alto saxophone) Max Roach/Clifford Brown (drums/trumpet) Bud Powell (piano) Miles Davis (trumpet) Sonny Rollins (tenor saxophone) Modern Jazz Dave Brubeck Chick Corea Miles Davis
