Heyy!! Welcome back to my blog. Now I will explain you about jazz sub genres. Jazz music, from the beginning of the 20th century, has spawned a variety of subgenres, ranging from New Orleans Dixieland in the early 1910s, big band-style swing from the 1930s and 1940s, bebop from the mid-1940s, various Latin-jazz fusion like Afro-Cuban jazz and Brazil from the 1950s and 1960s, the jazz-rock fusion from the 1970's and developed subsequently as acid jazz.

We started from New Orleans music. Musicians of the New Orleans give much impact at the beginning of the emergence of jazz music.So many jazz performers early played in the bars of red-light district around Basin Street called "Storyville." Moreover, so many marching bands played at lavish funerals arranged by the African American community. The instruments used in marching bands and dance bands became the basic of instruments of jazz.


And then about jazz with swing genre. Swing was also dance music and it was broadcast on the radio 'live' coast-to-coast nightly across America for many years. Although it was a collective sound, swing also offered individual musicians a chance to 'solo' and improvise melodic, thematic solos which could at times be very complex and 'important' music.



So..this is about bebop genre. In the mid-1940s bebop performers helped jazz music from danceable popular music towards a more challenging "musician's music." Different from swing, early bebop divorced itself from dance music, establishing itself more as an art form but lessening its potential popular and commercial value.


And the last I will tell you about Latin Jazz. Latin jazz has two main kind: Afro-Cuban and Brazilian jazz. Afro-Cuban jazz was played in the U.S. directly after the bebop period, while Brazilian jazz became more popular in the 1960s. Afro-Cuban jazz began as a movement in the mid-1950s as bebop musicians such as Dizzy Gillespie and Billy Taylor started Afro-Cuban bands influenced by such Cuban and Puerto Rican musicians as Xavier Cugat, Tito Puente, and Arturo Sandoval. Brazilian jazz such as bossa nova is derived from samba, with influences from jazz and other 20th century classical and popular music styles.
