The History of Jazz Swing Cool Bebop Ragtime

Swing The '30s and '40s belonged to Swing. During that classic era, most of the jazz groups were Big Bands. Derived from New Orleans jazz style. Swing was also dance music Although it was a collective sound, Swing also offered individual musicians a chance to improvise melodic, thematic solos which could at times be very complex.

Cool Evolving directly from bop in the late 1940's and 1950's, Cool's smoothed out mixture of bop and swing tones were again harmonic and dynamics were now softened. The ensemble arrangement had regained importance. Nicknamed "West Coast Jazz" because of the many innovations coming from Los Angeles, Cool became nation wide by the end of the 1950's, with significant contributions from East Coast musicians and composers.

BeBop Developed in the early 1940's, It's main innovators were alto saxophonist Charlie Parker and trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie. Until then, Jazz improvisation was derived from the melodic line. Bebop soloists engaged in chordal improvisation, often avoiding the melody.

Ragtime Early Ragtime music was set forth in marches. a classically trained young pianist from Missouri named Scott Joplin published the first of many Ragtime compositions that would come to shape the music of a nation.
