HISTOR E
Most early jazz was played in small marching
bands or by solo pianists. Besides ragtime and
marches, the repertoire included hymns,
spirituals, and blues. The bands played this
music, modified frequently by syncopations and
acceleration, at picnics, weddings, parades, and
funerals. Characteristically, the bands played
dirges on the way to funerals and lively marches
on the way back. Although blues and ragtime had
arisen independently of jazz, and continued to
exist alongside it, these genres influenced the
style and forms of jazz and provided important
vehicles for jazz improvisation.

Hey where the heck did Jazz start?
To tell the truth it is hard to put an exact spot
or date where this thing They call Jazz started,
but it first came into large public view during
the 1920s during a little happening we like to
call the Harlem Renaissance. This is when many
black artists, writers, poets, and musicians made
their mark in American culture. It brought new
literature, art, and most importantly Jazz into
popular culture in American eyes.

How Does Jazz Relate to The Great Gaysby.
I mean Gatsby?

"By seven o' clock the orchestra has arrived, no
thin five-piece affair, but a whole pitful of
oboes and trombones and saxophones and viols and
cornets and piccolos, and low and high drums. The
last swimmers have come in from the beach now and
are dressing upstairs"

Most recent research gives Armstrong's birth as
Aug. 4, 1901. Until his birth certificate was
discovered in the 1980s, it was believed his
birth-date was July 4, 1900. He grew up in New
Orleans and received his first music instruction
in 1913 at a children's home he was sent to for
firing a gun in the air one New Years Eve. By
1915 he was sitting in with local bands. He came
north to Chicago to join King Oliver in 1922 and
made his first records with Oliver the following
April. Armstrong is also in the Guinness Book of
World Records for being the oldest person ever to
release a 1 Album (1964).

Why is there a Great in the Great Satchmo?
Armstrong made an especially unique contribution
in his scat singing. Unlike traditional lyrics,
scat singing features the use of nonsensical
syllables which keep time with the music rather
than trying to convey a message, like most
traditional lyrics.

Whatch You Talkin Bout Duke?
When Louis Armstrong died on July 6, 1971, Duke
Ellington said "If anyone was Mr. Jazz, it was
Louis Armstrong. He was the epitome of jazz and
always will be. Every trumpet player who decided
he wanted to lean towards the American idiom was
influenced by him ... He is what I call an
American standard, an American original ... I
love him. God bless him."
