The use of blue notes, call-and-response, improvisation, polyrhythms, syncopation and the swung note of ragtime are characteristics traceable back to jazz's West African pedigree.[1] During its early development, jazz also incorporated music from New England's religious hymns and from 19th and 20th century American popular music based on European music traditions.[2] The origins of the word "jazz," which was first used to refer to music in about 1915, are uncertain; for the origin and history, see Jazz (word).<br /></form><br />Jazz has, from its early 20th century inception, spawned a variety of subgenres, from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Orleans%2C_Louisiana">New Orleans</a> Dixieland dating from the early 1910s, big band-style swing from the 1930s and 1940s, bebop from the mid-1940s, a variety of Latin-jazz fusions such as Afro-Cuban and Brazilian jazz from the 1950s and 1960s, jazz-rock fusion from the 1970s and later developments such as acid jazz.<br /><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazz#Origins">More in Wikipedia</a><br /><br /><form action="http://www.google.com/cse" id="cse-search-box"><br /><div><br /> <input name="cx" value="partner-pub-0723188152621522:5j0pbs-l13r" type="hidden"><br /> <input name="ie" value="ISO-8859-1" type="hidden"><br /> <input name="q" size="31" type="text"><br /> <input name="sa" value="Search" type="submit"><br /></div><br /></form><br /><script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/coop/cse/brand?form=cse-search-box&amp;lang=en"></script><br /><script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-0723188152621522"; /* 728x15, luotu 1.3.2008 */ google_ad_slot = "0388072731"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 15; //--><br /></script><br /><br /><script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-0723188152621522"; /* 125x125, luotu 6.3.2008 */ google_ad_slot = "4215901365"; google_ad_width = 125; google_ad_height = 125; google_cpa_choice = ""; // on file //--><br /></script><br /><script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"><br /></script><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-0723188152621522"; /* 728x90, luotu 29.4.2008 */ google_ad_slot = "3517869660"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 90; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7609394188139569502-41534093999905143?l=olpa-jazz.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>olpanoreply@blogger.com0
