Jazz is an urban music form which began in African-American areas of New Orleans in the late 1900s, and developed rapidly. Jazz has its roots in blues and ragtime music, and also European military band music. There are many different types of jazz including swing, Kansas City Jazz, Gypsy jazz, big band and cool jazz (1940s), bebop, free jazz (1950s), jazz-rock fusion. Because it involves so many sub-styles, jazz music is hard to define overall. Jazz can be intellectual, mathematical cool and bright or warm and spontaneous, and this music style generally refers to city life. Women composers, singers and musicians found expression in this musical style from its beginnings. When male jazz musicians were drafted during the second world war, female bands stepped in. Jazz is equal opportunity music. The jazz age occured from 1920 to 1933, the same time as Prohibition in the United States. This black and white musical design is by M Sylvia Chaume. Jazz it up.
