User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The classic "big band" swing group would have a choir each of trumpets, trombones and saxophones, with piano, drums, upright bass and guitar. Flute and clarinet made occasional appearances, almost always by one of the other players who "doubled" on that instrument. Most big bands also had one or two featured singers,who sang on anything from a few to most of the bands numbers, depending on the band.

How is stride piano relative to ragtime and jazz?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Stride and Noveltty piano were developed from the Ragtime. That was about1920. Stride piano came up in Harlem, NY where black pianists, which hadn`t a musical graduation, began to improvise the Rags and so created an own style. Novelty piano developed about the same time in Chicago where only white pianist, which had a highly musical graduation and which were influenced by the european music-styles began to create their own style. Stride and Novelty piano sound very similar so they can be called the first Jazz-styles.

You can go to see jazz just about anywhere. Of course the radio but also you can go to either New York, Cape May or Philadelphia. New York is good because it has many jazz clubs. The Village Vanguard, Blue Note, Iridium, Birdland, Smalls, and many others. Cape May has the "Cape May Jazz Festival" which is a great jazz fest. Philadelphia has endless jazz clubs, such as Ortliebs, Chris's jazz cafe, Clef Club, Kimmel Center, and many more.

Jazz is a 20th century musical form, which grew out of ragtime and dixieland and developed about the same time as blues.

The word "jazz" was first applied to music in Chicago in 1915, although examples of the style of music can be found as early as 1905.

What gauge guitar string for jazz players?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Jazz musicians use higher gauge strings than usual. This is because jazz guitarists play very technical musical compositions that require them to play more notes. If they did not use a higher gauge of string they would go out of tune too quickly and the music would sound poor. My experiment prooves that if musicians of certain genres such as jazz used strings with a gauge that is too low, they would go out of tune much faster. For example if a jazz artist were to use a string with a gauge of 42 it would last 24 seconds longer on average than if they used a gauge of 32.

What is rock-jazz?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The attempted fusion of the two genres initiated by jazz musicians in an attempt cash into the much larger market for rock music than for jazz, sometimes successfully achieved and more often a dismal failure. Nevertheless, a few iconic recordings came about because of it, namely Herbie Hancock's "Head Hunters" and some of the earlier recordings by Joe Zawinul's seminal jazz/rock band, "Weather Report". Of course, there were many more successful recordings as well as the best forgotten. Today, jazz/rock fusion is mainly an historical footnote in the history of jazz music though it still pops up its head from time to time.
