Jazz is a type of music which was invented in the United States. Jazz music combines African-Americanmusic with European music. Some common jazz instruments include the saxophone, trumpet, piano, double bass, and drums. It is difficult to give an exact definition for "jazz". One important part of jazz is improvisation, which means the person playing is making music up as they go along. If a jazz band is playing a song, the song may have several solos where one player will improvise while the rest of the band, except for the rhythm section (such as the piano, bass, or drums), does not play .
Jazz started in the United States in the early 20th century. Jazz music was influenced by the music of African slaves who were taken from Africa to work in the plantations of the southern United States, such as call and response songs and blue notes. These influences were indirect, through earlier musical forms such as ragtime. Also, jazz has musical styles from European music, as well as the brass and stringed instruments and (sometimes) the use of musical notation.
There have been different types of jazz through time. In the 1920s, there was New Orleans-style jazz and Dixieland jazz was also popular. In the 1930s, there was swing jazz, which was also called big band jazz. In the 1940s, bebop became a major type of jazz, with fast songs and complex harmony. Large jazz bands, which are called big bands, were also popular in the 1940s. Big bands usually have 5 saxophone players, 4 or 5 trumpet players, 4 trombone players, a piano player or guitar player, an acoustic bass player, a drummer, and sometimes a singer. In the 1950s, there was hard bop jazz. In the 1960s, there was modern jazz and free jazz. In the 1970s, jazz fusion, began to blend jazz music with rock music.
