Jazz

Jazz started all in America in the 1900's.And it started with 2 different kinds of music combined together.Classical and Folk.
For many years these kind of music were kept apart,because the people that listened to classical music at that time were more sophisticated and serious,and well the Afro-American(Black Americans) used to be slaves at that time and they would sing folk on their own and the world didn't have a clue.
Finally by the year 1900 the Black Americans were no longer slaves,and most of them moved from the countryside to the city.And that is how classical music met folk in cities like Chicago and New Orleans!
At first people were shocked when they heard the Black Americans folk music.They thought it was weird and it should be stopped.But over the years jazz grew and grew and now today we have many types of jazz.
This is a list of the most famous style of jazz music over the years:

  • Acid Jazz
