Different Styles of Jazz Early Jazz (Dixieland) Time period: Cir The Swing Era Time Period: Beginning of swing bands The Swing Era

Bebop Time period:

Cool Time Period:

The Return to the Hot: Hard Bop and Funky Jazz Time period:

Post Bebop Straight-Ahead Time Period: 1959 to present Style characteristics and performance practices: Complex harmony, melody, and rhythm Forms became increasingly complex, asymmetrical, and unpredictable Expanded use of different time signatures Expanded scale vocabulary Required great technical skill and facility A small group music Tune sources included the following: –blues –I Got Rhythm tunes –original tunes (contrafacts and others) –modal tunes –jazz tunes Important players in this style include Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, George Russell, Cannonball Adderley, and numerous others.

The Breakthrough Year into the Contemporary Period: 1959 –1959 was the year in which a number of major events in jazz history took place, among them the following: –The arrival of Ornette Coleman, one of the founding fathers of free jazz, on the East Coast at the Lenox School of Jazz; also the year of his heralded and controversial opening at the Five Spot in New York City –The release of Miles Davis' groundbreaking and influential album Kind of Blue –The awakening of interest in Latin and Latin-derived music, primarily due to these 1959 events: –The film Black Orpheus, with music by Antonio Carlos Jobim and Luis Bonfa, reached America –The first major album in the bossa nova style, Chege de Saudade by Joao Gilberto, was recorded. –The term "bossa nova" was first used, in the song "Desafinado" –Sketches of Spain, a collaboration between Gil Evans and Miles Davis, was recorded. This was Miles' most popular album in the 1960s. –This high level of interest in Latin music opened the door for explorations into other ethnic music, resulting in experimentation with the elements of the music of India and Africa (among others)

Ethnic Jazz Time Period: 1959 to present Style characteristics and performance practices: Draws heavily on the identifiable musical characteristics of other ethnic musics Utilizes the melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic characteristics of other ethnic musics Uses the compositions of other ethnic musics Makes use of the instruments, instrumental concepts, and often the musical philosophy of other ethnic musics

Activity Have Students select a famous recording, listen to it and then write a few paragraphs describing what they heard.

Activity Have students write a report on the life of a famous jazz musician.

Activity For extra credit encourage a student to transcribe an improvised solo from one of the recordings we listened to. To do this, the student will listen to the performer and then write down note-for-note what the performer is playing.
