  1. Jazz Done by Potykayalo Tanya

  2. Jazz is a type of music and the only art form that was created in the United States. Jazz is a mixture of many different kinds of music. It is made up of the music of West Africa, the work songs of the slaves and religions music. The first jazz bands were formed at the end of the 19th century.

  3. During the last century jazz became more and more popular. Today jazz is played all over the world.

  4. Mina Agossi Mina Agossi was born on 6 January 1972 in France.

  5. While in school for theater in France, a local saxophonist gave her 500 francs to sing on-stage with him, and although Agossi had no formal experience in music, she immediately fell in love with performing and decided to pursue singing as a career. In 1993 she joined her first group, a swing and New Orleans jazz band that played gigs in France and Ireland.

  6. As she became more interested in modern jazz, the young singer decided to start recording under her own name, releasing a few bare-boned jazz albums in Europe. Bringing her own interpretation to jazz brought Agossi her fair share of critics and fans alike, and she began receiving offers to sing with artists like Archie Shepp, Mukta, and Adam Pieronscyk. In 2001, soon after September 11, Agossi recorded her live album EZ Pass to Brooklyn with Alexander Hiele on bass and Bertrand Perrin on drums, the same group that accompanied her on her next record, Carrousel.
