  1. Jazz Artists Early 20th Century

  2. First…What is jazz? • Three Main Components: • Like any other musical genre, Jazz will always have these- • Melody • Harmony • Beat/Rhythm • What makes it unique? • Improvisation • Syncopation- "If a part of the measure that is usually unstressed is accented, the rhythm is considered to be syncopated."

  3. What is Jazz? • Syncopation • Jazz musicians don’t syncopate ALL the time (if they did it would be monotonous). Instead, jazz music involves both syncopated and non-syncopated notes -- just which ones to syncopate is up to the player and, once they get good enough, they do this intuitively (that is, without having to think about it; just like fluctuating your voice when talking so you don’t talk in a monotone).  • Mack the Knife • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEllHMWkXEU
