What famous jazz music, jazz instruments and jazz musicians are there?

February 192010

Key features of Jazz and more.

This list could be ridiculously long. regular jazz instruments are sax, trumpet, trombone, piano, guitar, bass, drums, and sometime you have other instruments.

There are way too many musicians to list, but you have older ones like Miles Davis, Charlie parker, John Coltrane and newer ones like David Sanborn, Joshua Redman, and Dave Koz.

What is a good website to listen to classical or jazz music on?

February 172010

I need a music that I can listen to classical music or jazz music on. I don’t want to have to pay, because it’s for school and I’ll probably never listen to it again after my assignment is done. Anything will work, just so long as I don’t have to pay.

What popular music genres originated from jazz?

February 122010

my friends and i are arguing about the importance of jazz music. i have heard that some popular music genres today have been influenced or originated from jazz. what are some examples?

the truth is, nearly all genres of music you would find "popular" have origins in Jazz. Jazz led to Rock and Roll, which branched out into many other forms of music influencing the genres that are popular today. This is not to say, however, that Jazz is the sole influence, as the development of popular music is so complicated that it cannot be said to have one influence. In reality however, you would have a hard time making a case for jazz as a direct influence to popular music, as there is clearly a significant degree of separation, yet the influence is there, if only through the way in which Jazz led to the development of other styles of music that eventually led to that which is today considered popular. to credit Jazz as an influence on popular music, one must also credit by extension the music that led to the development of Jazz, that being Blues, Ragtime and a handful of other styles. To answer your question yes Jazz influenced popular music, but there is also significantly more to it that that simple statement.
