This website was very helpful, and helped us gain knowledge on the creation of jazz music in the 1920s. Some things that we liked about this article is that it summarized the era of the 1920's in general before talking about jazz specifically. It also provided the names of several of the first jazz compositions, as well as famous artists of the time, which will be helpful in further research.

This was another helpful website, especially since it was very different from the first one that I accessed. Besides talking about famous jazz artists and songs of the time, the article delved into more examples of popular music of the time, providing context for our topic by talking about blues, Broadway, and bands, which help us understand where jazz originated from.

This was definitely the favorite article out of the three accessed to review. This is, for the most part, because instead of simply listing famous songs and artists of jazz of the time, it provided a full paragraph of information about it to provide readers with as much information easily accessible as possible. We will definitely plan to utilize all three of these websites in our project. ]]> 2017-11-28 19:40:34 UTC https://padlet.com/lestrauss/sf8delmvw5g6/wish/211128646 anbarnhart https://padlet.com/lestrauss/sf8delmvw5g6/wish/211133744 https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/16/arts/music/pop-rock-and-jazz-in-nyc-this-week.html?rref=collection%2Ftimestopic%2FJazz&action=click&contentCollection=timestopics&region=stream&module=stream_unit&version=latest&contentPlacement=5&pgtype=collection
This website is talking about a woman named Jane Ira Bloom. Jane Ira Bloom was a famous jazz artist. She did many performances helping to enhance the genre of jazz music. Ms. Bloom even released an album that was called "Early Americans". This is what she is most well-known for. People have said that it was a  is an intimate record featuring a bass-drums trio. This current event article was really interesting since often times we really don't think about Jazz music involved in our current events. It really opened our eyes to how Jazz music can still be relevant in today's world.

Armstrong was an American trumpeter, composer and singer. He even occasionally worked as an actor. Some of his most famous Jazz songs include "What a Wonderful World" and "La Vie En Rose". He is revered for his immense skill and for being a leader of the Jazz movement, which influenced so many people. He is quoted for saying,  "If you have to ask what jazz is, you'll never know." I thought that this photograph effectively showed the famous jazz musician's passion for his music, and thought it was a great primary source to utilize. ]]> 2017-11-30 20:01:46 UTC https://padlet.com/lestrauss/sf8delmvw5g6/wish/212055584 anbarnhart https://padlet.com/lestrauss/sf8delmvw5g6/wish/212058293 https://www.apassion4jazz.net/pat-metheny-on-jazz.html
Pat in this primary source document is talking about how the times have changed from when she was a kid. She explains that while she was receiving her education in school in school, they were not educated about jazz, but today she is extremely happy that she can go back to her school and see that these kids are learning about it now and that the curriculum surrounding the important marker in American history is much more developed. In the speech she gave she also talks about how in today's culture people are hostile and oblivious to the musical creativity in jazz music. Ms Metheny said despite that she thinks that jazz music will continue, but in unexpected ways. Pat said that writing jazz music can help a person find them self. She thinks yes its a good thing to learn about the roots of jazz music today but she feels that people should be worrying about there own music. So she is very happy that kids these days are learning about it, but she feel that more kids should just be making there own music and playing it. ]]> 2017-11-30 20:07:38 UTC https://padlet.com/lestrauss/sf8delmvw5g6/wish/212058293 lestrauss https://padlet.com/lestrauss/sf8delmvw5g6/wish/212060790  This map shows an actual blueprint plan for a jazz age club in the 1920s. This particular map is of  Ostende during the time that Jazz originated. Jazz was becoming very popular at this time, however, many people resisted it by the end of the 1920s. There were many campaigns at this time to end the "devil's music", many thinking that Jazz was ruining music at the time, however, little did they know that it was enriching music in a way that had never been seen before. We really liked this original, primary source map for many reasons. It is really a great artifact from the time and can help us understand what it would be like to be alive at the formation of jazz. ]]> 2017-11-30 20:13:29 UTC https://padlet.com/lestrauss/sf8delmvw5g6/wish/212060790 lestrauss https://padlet.com/lestrauss/sf8delmvw5g6/wish/212069462  1.)

It has roots in the African-American communities of New Orleans in the late 19th and early 20th century. It is a type of music developed from blues and ragtime music. Jazz music truly is an intrinsic part of African American history. There is a lot of debate on exactly where Jazz music started.  Some will say that Jazz was born in 1895, when Buddy Bolden started his first band. Others will say 1917, when Nick LaRocca and his Original Dixieland Jazz Band recorded the first Jazz record, "Livery Stable Blues." However, despite not knowing exactly when it started, anyone can tell how important it was to American culture, both when it originated and even in today's culture, where it has branched off into a variety of other music genres. Jazz continued to change and evolve over time. Many new forms of music came from jazz. In the 1930s, swing music was popular. Although the historical context of jazz has changed immense amounts over the years, the public's interest in the genre does not seem to be waning anytime soon. Jazz continues to evolve itself into becoming entirely new works of art to this day, and that is part of why we chose to research the creation of jazz music for this project, because the widespread effects of the genre were already so well known to us as it is. I hope you enjoy reviewing our project and learning more about the creation of this fine music genre we call jazz. ]]> 2017-12-01 19:11:56 UTC https://padlet.com/lestrauss/sf8delmvw5g6/wish/212411699 anbarnhart https://padlet.com/lestrauss/sf8delmvw5g6/wish/212412202  Many of today’s African American musicians are faced with similar social circumstances as those of past jazz musicians and as a result, the importance of the African American culture is still being ignored. Yes some of the Africans got some negative feed back from that type of music but they pushed though it and some of them were able to benefit and gain respect from people.  Where words fail, music speaks,” says the poet Hans Christian Andersen. They say that  whats mostly expressed in jazz music. Jazz blends elements from varied traditions, including African and African American, religious, brass band, and blues styles.  Jazz has inspired more praise and more controversy than any other American music. Jazz music was a big inspiration from the 1920s to the great depression. ]]> 2017-12-01 19:12:58 UTC https://padlet.com/lestrauss/sf8delmvw5g6/wish/212412202
