New Orleans was the city where Jazz started and where Jazz was most popular. It was the perfect city for all of the elements of Jazz to come together because of its accessibility to people all around the world. New Orleans acted as a meeting place for people of different ethnic groups, and a city with a nightlife where musicians had the opportunity to play together, learn from each other, and blend all of these elements. ]]> 2017-04-04 16:11:22 UTC https://padlet.com/tgelnett/3d8zmim750ia/wish/164659156 tgelnett https://padlet.com/tgelnett/3d8zmim750ia/wish/164664017 The definition of jazz is "a type of music of black American origin characterized by improvisation, syncopation, and usually a regular or forceful rhythm, emerging at the beginning of the 20th century."  This definition doesn't really give a good idea of what jazz really is.  Jazz music and the musicians started a culture that changed the way people dressed and danced but more importantly Jazz changed many people's frame of mind. People were grieving because of world war I until the jazz movement came. The upbeat, fun and jolly sound of Jazz found a way to change the people's mood and move on from the harsh war.]]> 2017-04-04 16:25:37 UTC https://padlet.com/tgelnett/3d8zmim750ia/wish/164664017
