===<span style="color:teal">'''Introduction''' to the History of Jazz</span>===

<span style="color:blue">Jazz has evolved from several different types and strains of music and has itself produced numerous jazz styles.  It has always been hybrid music (a combination of types).  Pre-cursor music to jazz was European twelve-tone classical music, African rhythms, Ragtime, marches, brass bands, chamber orchestras, work songs, spirituals, church call and response, Dixieland, and even opera.  Jazz’s origins can be traced to specific geographical locations starting with New Orleans (Jelly Roll Morton, King Oliver, Louis Armstrong, Sidney Bechet), Chicago (where Oliver and Armstrong went from New Orleans), New York City, Kansas City, Chicago, St. Louis, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Los Angeles.</span>

<span style="color:blue">The origins of jazz are obscure due to the lack of recording technology.  Credit is due to the Original Dixieland Jazz (or Jass) Band in 1917 for making the first recorded jazz.  The music was developed primarily by people of color (non-white), especially Afro-Americans and Creoles (people with mixed heritage).  The genre was nurtured by urban musicians in New Orleans and played in whorehouses, funeral services, parades, and dance halls. </span>

<span style="color:blue">Although there is '''''controversy over the definition of jazz''''', everyone agrees that its '''''most significant element''''' and '''''part of the essence of jazz performance''''' is '''improvisation'''.  Improvised music consists of making music up on the spot as a spontaneous composition.  The jazz artist must produce new music often formed from an established melody or group of chord changes, modes, or musical forms (melody, harmony, rhythm).</span>

----

<blockquote><span style="color:green">“While '''jazz history benefits greatly''' from the fact that the '''many of the major figures involved have lived documented lives'''—and good jazz history must involve the remembrances of the people involved—Kelley is correct in his assertion that '''''oral history needs to be checked and balanced with other sources'''''.  It is important to remember that while '''oral history is an invaluable supplement to other sources''', it is '''''not itself a primary source'''''.  Too much reliance on oral history can '''perpetuate myths''', particularly myths that the musicians or the person compiling the oral history have reason to emphasize.  '''''This overreliance on oral history is particularly problematic in relation to writings on the blossoming of bebop'''''.  Ira Gitler’s ''Swing to Bop'' is '''one of the most popular sources''' for facts about the story of '''how bebop began''', but in fact the book '''''only offers various musicians’ opinions and anecdotes'''''.  Ultimately, the '''''only primary sources''''' regarding jazz music itself are '''audio and video recordings, sheet music manuscripts, and photographs'''.  Everything else has been processed by a person somewhere between the music and the historian who is publishing it.” </span><ref><span style="color:blue">[http://www.jazzinstitut.de/gender-and-identity-in-jazz/?lang=en Christopher Dennison,] [http://rucore.libraries.rutgers.edu/rutgers-lib/47647/PDF/1/play/ ''Primary Sources: An Examination of Ira Gitler's "Swing to Bop and Oral History's Role in the Story of Bebop'',] M.A. thesis, Graduate School-Newark, Rutgers University, The State University of New Jersey, May, 2015, 6-7.</span> </ref> <span style="color:blue">(bold and bold italic not in original)</span>
</blockquote> 

<span style="color:blue">These claims of Christopher Dennison go too far.  It is false that the '''''only''''' primary sources regarding jazz are audio and video recordings, sheet music manuscripts, and photographs.  Just because oral histories are subject to error and distortion does not preclude their value as information.  If ten different musicians not influenced by a central author all report that Charlie Parker played in a particular manner, then the group's agreement on these observations can be a source of truth.  Oral histories need corroboration to provide further justification for believing any generated claims, but they still count as evidence to various degrees of usefulness for discovering what happened. </span>

====<span style="color:teal">History of the '''Phonograph'''</span>====

<span style="color:blue">'''Thomas Alva Edison''' invented the phonograph (literally meaning “sound writer”) in 1877 using tinfoil discs.  Edison was not the first to invent a mechanical device that could record sound.   The very first recording device was developed by a Frenchman '''Edouard-Leon Scott de Martinville''' and patented on March 25, 1857.  His device could record sound to a visible medium, but had no means to play back the sound after it was recorded.  Edison’s device could do so.  However, Edison’s use of tinfoil for his recording and playback medium was impractical as the tinfoil tore easily, its sound was distorted and squeaky, and it was good for only a few playbacks.</span>

<span style="color:blue">A distinct improvement in sound quality and longevity was accomplished by '''Alexander Graham Bell''' at Bell’s Volta laboratory in Washington, D.C. using waxed cylinders.  Bell and his two associates developed the wax cylinders beginning in 1879 and patented the technique in 1886.</span>

===<span style="color:teal">'''Table of Jazz Musicians''' by Decade and Instrument</span>===

<span style="color:blue">Tables organizing musicians by dates are problematic.  By what criteria should a musician's name be associated with a date?  Should it be when he or she is born?  No, they have not yet developed musical skills or accomplishments.  Even after picking a criterion, it remains a challenge precisely where to put a particular musician into which time period. </span>

<span style="color:blue">The following table uses the criterion of placing musicians into time periods when they '''first came to prominence'''.  Most of these musicians then remained active in the field for several more decades although their names are not repeated later in the table. </span>

===<span style="color:teal">'''Big Band''' Jazz (1920's-1940's)</span>===

<span style="color:blue">[http://www.thoughtco.com/michael-verity-2039108 Michael Verity] explains below in green font how jazz began to switch from group and big band arrangements in the late 1930's-early 1940's to increased emphasis on individual solo improvisations.   The innovations of '''Coleman Hawkins''' (1904-1969) and '''Lester Young''' (1909-1959) helped lead to further developments later in Bebop.</span>

<blockquote><span style="color:green">“In 1922, '''Coleman Hawkins''' moved to New York, where he joined '''Fletcher Henderson’s''' (pictured below) orchestra.  Inspired by '''Louis Armstrong''' who briefly toured with the group, '''''Hawkins resolved to create an individualistic improvisation style'''''. </span>


<span style="color:green">The '''''primacy of the soloist''''' was budding thanks to '''Armstrong’s Hot Five recordings''' on Okeh Records. Famous songs included “Struttin’ With Some Barbecue,” and “Big Butter and Egg Man.” Saxophonist '''Sidney Bechet’s''' virtuosity was documented as well, with his 1923 recording of “Wild Cat Blues” and “Kansas City Blues.” </span> 

<span style="color:green">In 1927, cornetist '''Bix Beiderbecke''' recorded “In a Mist” with C-melody saxophone player '''Frankie Trumbauer'''.  Their refined and introspective approach contrasted with the gregarious New Orleans style.  Tenor saxophonist '''Lester Young''' brought the style to prominence, and offered an alternative to the gruffer playing of '''Coleman Hawkins'''. </span>

<span style="color:green">It wasn’t just in tone that the two differed. '''Young’s specialty''' was '''embellishing and creating melodies''', while '''Hawkins''' became an expert at '''outlining chord changes by playing arpeggios'''. The '''convergence of these two approaches''' were integral in the '''development of bebop''' in later years.”</span><ref>[http://www.thoughtco.com/jazz-by-decade-1930-1940-2039541 "Jazz by Decade 1930-40"] <span style="color:blue">by Michael Verity at ThoughtCo.com</span></ref> <span style="color:blue">(bold not in original)</span>

A typical Bebop band consisted usually of '''saxophone''' and '''trumpet''' with rhythm sections of '''piano''', '''bass''', and '''drums'''.  Because the band had fewer members bebop shifted musical focus from complex band arrangements to increased improvisation and interaction between members.  The '''Bebop rhythm section''' (piano, bass, drums) innovated as well in that their roles were expanded from just being time-keepers to interacting with soloists and adding their own embellishments.  Bebop drummers [http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenny_Clarke Kenny Clarke] and [http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Roach Max Roach] often get credited for shifting focus from the [http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bass_drum bass drum] to the [http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ride_cymbal ride cymbal] as the '''main time-keeping element''' of the drum set.</span><ref><span style="color:green">“The man given credit for founding Bop (or "klook-mop") drumming is Kenneth (Klook) Clarke, who was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1914.  He had the house band at Minton's Playhouse in New York, where, along with musicians such as Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, and Dizzy Gillespie, they experimented with, and developed the bebop style of playing.  Clarke had been experimenting prior to this, in the late thirties, and had been let go by Louis Armstrong and Teddy Hill because of it.  Clarke's playing was said to be a model of solidity and good taste, and his use and non-use of the bass drum was widely copied.  Clarke influenced many young drummers, including Max Roach, in the early forties.”</span> <span style="color:blue">(Thomas Shultz, [http://www.volusiagig.com/music/Historyjazzdrumming.pdf ''A History of Jazz Drumming'',] 1979, 123)</span></ref>  <span style="color:blue">This permitted greater flexibility in a group's overall sound and allowed soloist's room to experiment with rhythm while enabling drummers to interact more easily with soloists.</span>
