Most people think that Jazz music was very first heard throughout the period known as the "Jazz Age" of the 1920's. The truth is that the origin of Jazz was a lot earlier. In fact it is roots can be traced to a period between 1850 & 1900 when African slaves & freed folks began to experiment with European music.

The music of central & western Africa is filled with intricate rhythms & improvisation played on percussive instruments. When the early African American men and women incorporated these rhythms in to American spirituals, hymns & hillbilly tunes the roots were planted for new forms of music that would finally lead to the Jazz phenomena. Nevertheless this new improvisational style of music would not be a given name until around 1915 when it was initial called "Jass" or "Jassing". Read more »

The Confederate flag was not to be thought as a sign of racism or hatred, it was to symbolize the stated that felt threatened by Abraham Lincoln. He was doing what he could to end slavery in the southern states. They were likely going to do that anyway, but they thought a Republican President would simply end their way of life. Asserting that states had a right to secede, seven states declared their independence from the United States before the inauguration of Abraham Lincoln as President on March 4, 1861; four more did so after the Civil War began at the Battle of Fort Sumter (April 1861). The government of the United States of America (The Union) regarded secession as illegal and refused to recognize the Confederacy. Although British and French commercial interests sold the Confederacy warships and materials, no European nation officially recognized the CSA as an independent country. The CSA effectively collapsed when Generals Robert E. Lee and Joseph E. Johnston surrendered their armies in April 1865. The last meeting of its Cabinet took place in Georgia in May. Union troops captured the Confederate President Jefferson Davis near Irwinville, Georgia on May 10, 1865. Nearly all remaining Confederate forces surrendered by the end of June. A decade-long process known as Reconstruction expelled ex-Confederate leaders from office, gave civil rights and the right to vote to the freedmen, and re-admitted the states to representation in Congress.

Question by Secondhand: What's the difference between jazz and blues as according to music theory? Politically, blues reacts in the same manner as folk in the sense that it tends to represent the economic and social frustrations of the lower-class. In my opinion, blues is more representative of the working-class and destitute in contrast to mostly conformist melodies of jazz. Now that we know the differences in a political sense, I want to know how jazz differs from the blues as according to music theory.

Answer by Chanteuse_ar
Actually you've got it backwards. Blues usually always follows form. A standard 12 bar blues is usually 4 lines of 3 bars. the first line of the verse is usually repeated over the first 6 bars, followed by another line over 3 bars and a final bar of the verse over the last 3 bars. There are several variations of blues as well, but the 12 bar is the most known form. Jazz can follow form if that's the way it's written or if that's the way the musician decides to interpret it, and jazz allows for free improvisation. Any improvisation in blues, still follows the basic musical form. Jazz can and does also reflect economic and social situations the same as blues and any other music…ever hear the song Strange Fruit by Billie Holiday? It's about the lynching of black men in the south…the men being sung about were hardly middle class. Blues is the father of jazz chronologically speaking
