Jazz Influence On Pop Culture

The Jazz Age was a national undertaking that took place in America during the 1920’s, also known as “the Roaring Twenties” from which both jazz music and dance emerged. Despite the era ending with the beginning of The Great Depression in the 1930’s, jazz has lived on in American pop culture. The birth of jazz music is often credited to African-Americans, but it soon expanded to America’s white middle class. This resulted in jazz being combined by both African-American traditions and ideals with white middle class society.

​The iconic mark of the music in the twenties was jazz. According to a website devoted to posting and commenting on jazz music in the twenties, jazz music appealed to the young people of the era. “The music…was fast and furious – it was young people’s music…” (100 Favourite Songs). Jazz became popular because it was so drastically different than anything they had heard before. Independent (or indie) record companies were introduced in the Roaring Twenties (Tyle). Some of the greatest jazz musicians appeared on indie labels: Gennett, Paramount, and Oken (Tyle).

The most popular new genre of music was Jazz. Jazz was created by African Americans by putting music and poetry together. Even though African Americans sit at the start of this new craze, overall, they tended to be treated the same as they were before they developed this form of music. Jazz affected both the fashion industry and literature in the 20’s. This was the first time in history that a minorities culture was preferred over the mainstream culture.

Eventually the periods branched into genres, which focused and categorized with even greater detail on each piece of music (Estrella par. 6). Jazz is a genre of music that originated in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. As jazz began to grow popular, it served as a means to bring young people together. It also settled some of the controversy between the blacks and whites, as it was a great unifier and social

The World With a Little Jazz Can you imagine a genre that would appeal to everyone? How about a style of music that would help bring different ethnic groups together? Well, in the beginning of the 1920’s, one genre in particular had an outbreak that would change the United States forever. Jazz music modified the world with its groovy beats, calming instruments and powerful vocalists. “The 1920’s or the Jazz Age, were years of change as America recovered from World War 1 and embraced new ways of behaving and thinking” (Benson, Brannen, Jr. and Valentine Vol. 7).

A style of music that was created in the 20th century, Jazz has had a major impact on American culture. Originating from work songs African American slaves used to sing on plantations, the foundations of jazz first began as a three piece music group using instruments like the Fiddle, Banjo and the drum. These instruments formed a style known as Ragtime, which can be recognized as one of the first styles that marked the birth of jazz. Although jazz grew out of a lifestyle shaped by plantation life, over the course of the next hundred years, jazz evolved immensely, as it underwent many changes and branched off into various substyles. In the beginning of the 1900s, New Orleans style of Jazz also known as “Classic Jazz” became tremendously popular to all ethnicities. Performed by black, whites and African American creoles, Classic Jazz took the form of a small-band. These bands would performed at parties and dances with large brass instruments that had been salvaged from the civil war which include the clarinet, banjo, bass, guitar saxophone, cornet, trombone, tuba, drums and occasionally a piano. This dynamic new music combined syncopation of ragtime with modified popular melodies like marches, hymns work song and the blues. However in 1925 everything changed as Jazz introduced a new genre called Hot Jazz. This new style of jazz was characterized by spontaneous collective solos, that stirred up an emotional and “hot” climax. Additionally Hot Jazz was played with drums, banjo

Music is and has been an inconceivably paramount piece of black culture, when concentrating on any kind of black music it is all that much an investigation into the back mind. Music has been a piece of the black cultural scene going over to slavery. Despite the fact that Jazz music is cherished and performed by individuals of each national background, in America, the groundbreaker, pioneer and innovator in every venture forward of Jazz has been the Negro. Unequivocally in light of the fact that the black culture talks so effectively in Jazz, it has gotten to be adored and respected everywhere. Between the two, there is no division of consecrated, secular, music, vocals, or instruments.

Shakespeare begins the play in Scotland, where Macbeth is worried about the future of his rule, while in England Macduff is trying to persuade the late king’s son, Malcolm, to fight back against Macbeth. The first complication is that Macbeth is worried about his future rule as king, so he decides to pay a visit to the witches who offer him their advice. When the witches reveal that Macbeth has nothing to worry about, he is relieved, however he decides to take extra precautions and wants to kill anyone that stands in his way, which in turn, shows the ambition and strive that Macbeth has. He later finds out that Macduff, has

Jazz is among one of the most interesting genres. It has encompassed all cultures since it arose in the late 18th century. Cool jazz, hot jazz, gypsy jazz, and many other sub-genres of Jazz have emerged throughout the years; however, it is seen through history that many of those sub-genres emerged during the Harlem Renaissance. This was a time period in the late 1920s and early 1930s in Harlem, a neighborhood within the northern section of New York that celebrated black intellect, black voice, and black ways of life. Jazz music was widely popular among that movement. Traditionally, Jazz is an improvisation and syncopation that showcases brass instruments, piano, and woodwind instruments.

In William Shakespeare’s Macbeth, many factors can be claimed as responsible for the tragic downfall of the main character. This play is characterized by its themes of ambition, conscience, and retribution, which prove themselves central to the resolution of the play. While Lady Macbeth and Macbeth himself play a large part in Macbeth’s downfall, the characters ultimately responsible for the downfall of Macbeth are the Weird Sisters. Without their contribution, Macbeth’s hunger for power would not have manifested itself in the same manner and his confidence would not have supported his irrational actions, which would have saved the life of many.

The development of Jazz was influenced by Ragtime. Ragtime became popular between 1897 through 1917. Ragtime was a fad that swept through the United States of America as the new type of music. Syncopation makes Ragtime very different from all the other genres at that period of time. It involves a variety of interruptions of the regular flow of the rhythm. Ragtime brought the beginning of the development of new music in the United States of America.

     The music called Jazz was born sometime around 1895 in New Orleans. It combined elements of Ragtime, marching band music and Blues. What made Jazz such a different perspective of traditional music was its act of improvising. There was a widespread use of improvisation often by more than one player at a time. Songwriters would write the music down on a piece of paper, and then the Jazz musicians would try their best to play the music. Usually in a Jazz piece, musicians would use the song as a starting point to improvise around. Jazz musicians would play a familiar song to the audience, and by the time they were done with the piece they would stir up a totally different feeling away from the
