Established by the '''Smithsonian's National Museum of American History in 1992''', the Program seized the opportunity to document more than one hundred senior jazz musicians, performers, relatives, and business associates.  Each interview was conducted by a jazz authority and was recorded on digital audiotape by a professional audio engineer.  The interviews average six hours in length and cover a wide range of topics including early years, initial involvement in music, generally, and jazz specifically, as well as experiences in the jazz music world, including relationships to musicians.” </span>

* [http://www.wordorigins.org/index.php/more/371/ Dave Wilton on the etymology of the word "jazz"] <span style="color:green">“There are a lot of stories about the origin of the word jazz, most amounting to no more than speculation asserted as fact.  But patient accumulation of the evidence by researcher Gerald Cohen and others has finally sorted out the origin.  Jazz started out as an early 20th century baseball term for pep or energy and transferred over to the vigorous and exciting new musical style.”</span> <span style="color:blue">For details click on the link.</span>

===<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 a hybrid music (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.  The first recorded jazz music is credited to the Original Dixieland Jazz (or Jass) Band in 1917.  The music was developed primarily by people of color (non-white) especially Creoles (people with French heritage) and by African Americans.  The music 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''''' music everyone is agreed that its '''''most important element''''' and '''''part of the essence of jazz playing''''' is '''improvisation'''.  Improvised music consists of spontaneous composition.  The jazz artist must produce new music on the spot often against an established melody or group of chord changes, modes, or musical forms (melody, harmony, rhythm).</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:blue">Tables at PoJ.Fm use the following abbreviations table to abbreviate the names of musical instruments.</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:green">(bold not in original)</span>

===<span style="color:teal">'''Table of Bebop''' Musicians by Instrument (early 1940's-1955)</span>===


* <span style="color:#9F1D35">'''Bebop''' developed in the 1940's and is characterized by '''sophisticated improvisations''' involving '''fast tempos''' with '''rhythmic unpredictability''' and '''harmonic complexity'''. </span>  [http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bebop Wikipedia on Bebop] <span style="color:#9F1D35">explains that Bebop musicians </span><span style="color:green">“explored advanced harmonies, complex syncopation, altered chords, extended chords, chord substitutions, asymmetrical phrasing, and intricate melodies.” </span><span style="color:#9F1D35">The term “bebop” is an onomatopoeic reference to the accented melodic lines and references the rhythmic punches heard in the music.  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 Playhousein 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>  [http://www.volusiagig.com/music/Historyjazzdrumming.pdf ''A History of Jazz Drumming'',] <span style="color:blue">Thomas Shultz, 1979, p. 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>
