4 The main point… Why are the 1920;s known as the “Jazz Age?”
“Jazz spirit” seen in all forms of culture Young, energetic, bold Barriers are broken Improvisational, rebellious

5 Why “Jazz?” “…when they study our civilization two thousand years from now, there will only be three things that Americans will be known for: the Constitution, baseball and jazz music. They’re the three most beautiful things Americans have created…”  - Gerald Early Jazz Intro: Ken Burns Intro: First 2 questions

6 On your paper… How does Jazz help us understand the American experience? What is the power of Jazz?

7 Radio brings about the “Jazz Age”
What is Jazz? Man, if you gotta ask, you’ll never know.” Louis Armstrong Originally called jass (slang for sex) a form of music based on improvisation and “swing” tempo Harmony of improvisation and syncopation---give and take “conversation”

8 Jazz Where did Jazz originate? Several Origins New Orleans
“call and response” slavery European immigration- “classical instrumentation” Blues- changes use of instruments, improvisation New Orleans

9 Jazz Why is New Orleans so pivotal to jazz?
Perfect storm of cultural fusion (black, French, Spanish, Creole, Southern) Originates in brothels as background music Fusion of African American, European musical tradition= blues + ragtime + marching bands= jazz

10 Jazz Why did jazz become so popular?
Spreading of jazz up the Mississippi river (Chicago, NY, via great migration) Outlaw music (origins, embraced by the youth) Radio- accessibility Danceability- speakeasies, prohibition – embodied the movement!

11 Jazz Who were some of the early jazz heroes?
Ma Rainey, Bessie Smith- the blues Louis Armstrong (Sachomo)- 1st Jazz trumpeter Jelly Roll Morton- pianist Dizzy Gillespie- originator of Bebop Duke Ellington- originator of big bands

12 Jazz – Don’t write this What are the different types of jazz?
Ragtime- founding style of jazz, piano based Blues- provide swing 8th note and similar call and response Dixieland- 20’s style jazz, trumpet/cornet, clarinet, trombone, saxophone= simultaneous improve Big Band- 40’s style jazz, ten or more players based on “swing” Bebop- late 40’s-50’s, smaller arrangements with more complex chord progressions- not suitable for dancing Cool jazz- same musicians as bebop but slowed things down Free jazz- experimental jazz combined with more popular music- rock

13 Jazz songs The Original Dixieland Jazz Band –
Louis Armstrong – “Stardust” What a Wonderful world -- Duke Ellington- “Take the A-train” Duke Ellington– “Mood” what emotion…what color? Start at :40 e&persist_safety_mode=1 Sydney Bechet – “St. Louis Blues Freddie Keppard – the “laugh” Jelly Roll Morton

14 Through the years examples
Benny Goodman – “Sing, Sing, Sing” Dizzy Gillespie - Billie Holiday – “I’ll be seeing you” Charlie Parker – Miles Davis – “Kind of Blue” Thelonius Monk – “Round Midnight”

15 The Jazz Spirit Jazz is the root of ALL popular music today!!
Slave songs, work songs, the blues, ragtime All based on “Call and Response” Swing Low Respect =true&persist_safety_mode=1 Satisfaction =true&persist_safety_mode=1 Get back =1&list=PL2876DF8CCF755C51 Shake your tail feather

16 On the bottom of your notes sheet
Your thoughts… Is Jazz, as Ken Burns suggests, the perfect American art form? Why? Why not? Do you see any connections between the way older, more conservative Americans treated Jazz in the early days with the way that older Americans treat “younger” peoples’ music today?
