Jazz music is one of the many forms of music that is usually played at parties, quiet kickback pubs and dedicated jazz venues. Most people like jazz music because it is not too loud and noisy, has minimal instruments, and is extremely pleasant. A Jazz band doesn’t always need a singer as it is very interesting to listen to, even as simple instrumental pieces.
Jazz music, many people say, got its birth in New Orleans. The Kid Ory’s were the very first jazz band that began playing their music in New Orleans and recorded it. They became extremely popular and the people’s love for jazz grew rapidly. The dynamic city of Chicago soon took over and gave birth to numerous jazz musicians and bands.
A Jazz band is a group of musicians that usually comprise of a drummer to provide the beat and tempo to the piece and a bass guitar which plays single or flowing bass notes. The piano or guitar is also included in a jazz combo. In most places in the world, the saxophone is one of the most important instruments of the jazz group along with the trumpet.
In the present day, with the rapid growth of fusion music, jazz bands are incorporating other forms of music too. Many jazz bands include a light touch of Indian string instruments like the sitar and also the Indian violin. Although this kind of music is still not very well known, it seems to be rapidly growing and will catch up to other genres in the years to come.
The most special feature of a jazz musician, when compared to any other musician, is his ability and talent to improvise and update his style of playing. A jazz musician will rarely play a tune in the same way each time. There is always a slight change in the way he plays the tune, or in the repetitions of notes.
Perhaps the greatest jazz musician the world has known would be Louis Armstrong, whose legacy peaked during the 1950′s. As time went by, jazz music gave birth to many derivatives and they came to be called different forms of jazz music itself like modal jazz, Latin jazz, African jazz, soul jazz, modern jazz, fusion jazz etc. To this day jazz music is played all over the world at parties, weddings, clubs and pubs. With the growth of hard rock and freestyle rap, the love for jazz, country and other old western styles is also morphing into new directions.
