Influenced
by Blues and Ragtime, Jazz emerged in the 1920’s in New Orleans. Jazz is not
easily defined and the simplest definition I have found still had to be
translated. These are my findings; Melodies that are often interrupted with rhythmic
stresses where they wouldn’t normally occur. Additionally, Jazz musicians often
play independent melodies simultaneously, with intense timbre and pitch. It is
not uncommon for a musician to become one with their instrument and perform solos
with improvised expression.
This
week we are featuring local artists, Mr. Jones and Friends. Originally, from
the New Orleans area and influenced by the likes of BB King and Louis Armstrong,
a Jazz visionary, was considered the father of modern jazz improvisation. Mr.
Jones and Friends, developed their own unique styles of improvisation and are not a show you want to miss.
We
will be featuring Mr. Jones and Friends on all of our social media sites this
week. Click the links and like our pages to find out about Mr. Jones and
