Assignment 5

With I think of jazz music, It makes me think of the blues. Overwhelming trumpet sounds with a smooth piano background. Jazz music reminds me of the African American culture, New Orleans, and the 1920's through the 1940's. Jazz music originated in Europe and migrated to New Orleans in the early 1900's. Primarily, musicians of jazz music were African American, but was played by all races. What makes jazz unique to the United States is that it was one of the first types of music played on the radio. Early radio's and recording studios were beginning to form around the time jazz music really took off. Jazz is an interesting word and really has no meaning (a type of music). Jazz lets musicians play as how they feel. For example, blues, swing music, and be-bop.

Classical music is a peaceful type of music that was very popular in the late 1800's to early 1900's, although many people still listen to it today. It really helps to sooth and concentrate while working on any given task. Beethoven, Mozart, and Sebastian Bach are some of the most famous classical composers of all time. Their music originated in the 1500's and is still listen to in the 21st century, which shows how popular classical music is.
