As a genre of music, jazz has apparently taken place in the history of world music. Jazz used to be regarded as music that makes headache, (very) difficult to understand, and boring. But now, with different types of streams in jazz that are so different from when it first appeared, jazz has been able to bewitch millions of fans around the world. Even young people are starting to enjoy a lot of jazz.
From the literature (as well as the internet site) that contains jazz, we can see the various streams in jazz, since it first appeared in New Orleans until its development today. Perhaps this paper is less informative in discussing about jazz but at least it can give an idea of what jazz is like.
Various jazz streams that exist are:
Ragtime:
The origin of jazz. Music that resembles African music with beats and tones that resemble original African music. Vibrant, enthusiastic, and extemporaneous are recognizable traits.
Classic Jazz:
Often referred to as "New Orleans Style". Originally a brass band featured on dance shows and parties in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Musical instruments are equipped with clarinet, saxophone, cornet, trombone, banjo, bass, guitar, drums and piano. Improvisation is highly emphasized in the game and musical arrangements can be different from each of his performances.
Hot Jazz:
This type of jazz is characterized by improvised solo singers, distinctive melodic structures, and usually has an emotional and "hot" climax. Rhytm sectionnya usually accompanied by guitar, bass, banjo, and drums that increase slowly so as to reach climax (crescendo). The main character of this flow, who else if not Louis Armstrong.
Chicago Style:
Chicago became the birthplace of this stream whose core core is the "inventive player". Characterized by an innovative and harmonious arsement, and a high player technique. The main characters include Benny Goodman, Bud Freeman, Edie Condon, and Gene Krupa.
Swing:
The 1930s became originally swing. Its main characteristics: robust and invigorating. Swing is also often said to be dance music. Despite playing collectively, a swing band can show solo performance to improvise its main melody. The character of many but often dubbed as The King of Swing is Benny Goodman.
Kansas Style:
This stream was born during The Great Depression around the 1920s and 1930s in the city of Kansas, USA. Its characteristic is a very soulful and blues style. Characters include Charlie Parker.
Gypsy Jazz:
Originally introduced by French guitarist Django Reinhardt. Often influenced by folk music (folk music) from eastern europe. Often also known as Jazz Manouche. The main features are: languid, seductive feel, which is characterized by "quirky cadences" and "driving rhytms".
Bebop:
Growing up in the early 1940s. Still relying on improvisation, in bop a soloist freely explores the chords while still in the existing chord structure. Bebop is different from swing, and even more dance music. Bebop is also the basis for innovations from jazz. Playernya include: Charlie Parker (saxophon) and Dizzi Gillespie (trumpet).
