    Esperanza Spalding African American Music Comparison

    The characteristics of American Jazz era of the 21st century closely resemble that of the European Classical era of the 19th-20th centuries. Jazz music is considered to be the free spirited spin off of it’s older sister classical music. “Classical composers envy the melodic verve, spontaneity and open emotion of improvisation; jazz musicians look to the larger scale, the coloristic and rhythmic flexibility and the respect given classical music.” Jazz music is defined by two fundamental elements of Classical music (the swing beat and the prevalence of improvisation). Since this is true, it indefinitely should be appreciated by critics almost as much as Classical music is. While the rhythms are not of classical nature, the harmonies and melodies of jazz stem directly from European music. In theory then, the boundaries between jazz and classical music seem to me to have been falsely erected. After all: What is jazz but ad-libbed classical music with a swing…

    Ch 1 Jazz Takes Root

    Rhythm is the element of time in music. Most jazz is up tempo keeping a fast pace while having noticeable beat changes, etc. in the background. In jazz music, there are supporting beats that will be constant in the background, such as downbeat and backbeat. Most jazz unlike other types of music uses syncopation, placing notes or accents off the beat, and polyrhythm, two or more rhythms being used simultaneously. This sets jazz music apart from many other genres.…

    history of jazz vs. history of hip-hop

    It is exceedingly interesting the way American culture is unoriginal in every way. Just about every aspect of American culture is in some way based on and/or influenced by people of another nationality as well as people of much different ethnicities than that of the typical white-protestant American. This is proven true through what Americans eat, the way they dance, and even the music they listen. Although America is the birthplace of both jazz and hip-hop, neither was really started by the average white American. But rather, both jazz’s and hip-hop’s beginnings were similarly within the underground world of Black America. The similarities between the paths of these two genres of music are uncanny, especially the way they both began as strictly for African-Americans and then slowly but surely, within the next three decades, emerged in the American mainstream via white artists to eventually be heard around the world.…

They are both creative art forms. Hip-hop music is often used as a platform to express thoughts about the establishment and insight into life urban black youth growing up in the streets.

The technical elements found in a jazz composition have had an extremely large influence on hip-hop. With the growth of improvisation hip hoppers established freestyle rapping.

    Kansas City Jazz

    What is jazz music? A single definition cannot be found. Many people try to define jazz music only to regress to trying to define what it does. Even this approach is difficult. People are only able to find things to agree on, such as agreeing that jazz is music. Jazz has been so many things throughout it long and illustrious history that it 's even hard to point out its origins, which stem from many places, many styles of music, and many people. However, there is an ongoing debate as to its precise origins. It is known to have evolved out of New Orleans in the 20th century and from they’re spread to the North and Midwest. Based in blues and ragtime, jazz have geographical "hot spots" throughout the country; New Orleans, Chicago, New York, and Kansas City.

    Rap Vs. Hip-Hop

    Many people believe that rap is not a music genre and is merely a sub-genre of hip-hop. There is also the belief rapper KRS-ONE said, “rapping is something you do and hip-hop is something you live” (KRS-ONE). The differences between rap and hip-hop are distinguishable enough that the two have separated. Leading people to believe that rap has evolved into its own category. Unless rap or hip-hop music is one of your favorite genres of music, you probably just lump the two together. Although in many ways the two are different. The main three that are used to distinguish the genres are musical features and culture/community message (Francois and Bronwyn). Although the debate on whether or not rap is an action and hip-hop is a lifestyle makes distinguishing the two harder. Despite the differences between hip-hop and rap music both have made huge strides for the communities associated and have a magnificent influence on today’s society.…

    Jazz Music Essay

    Dixieland jazz sounds are created when an instrument plays the melody or a variation on it, and the other instruments improvise around that melody. This works in jazz’s key element of improvisation. Next, swing jazz. Jazz music reached its height during the swing era. Swing music is unique in its strong rhythmic drive and “call-and-response” usage. As we discussed earlier, jazz music is unique in its rhythm, particularly swing, an element prominently incorporated in swing jazz, hence the name. Without this rhythmic element, swing music would not have the original jazz style. Mainstream jazz is considered to be extremely complex in nature, but it still contains important elements of jazz, including subtle use of rhythm, improvisation along with pre-arranged introductions, and “blues notes.” Despite introductions that are composed ahead of time, Mainstream still has the important element of improvisation. This shows us that jazz has evolved from the original style in to new styles that incorporate new and different elements. Funky Jazz, basically Mainstream’s alter ego, even contains the elements essential to original jazz style. Many of the original Funky jazz pieces were influenced heavily by blues and contain an abundance of “blues notes.” The rhythm of funky jazz is very simple, but funky jazz still includes strong jazz…

    Hip Hop and R&B

    It is safe to say that expressing oneself is exerted differently amongst individuals and forms, and in many cases an art is created. The list of different art forms, artists, art-type etc. extends, and a popular art form on this list includes music. Music is a category in relation to art, but also contains many categories within itself. It is a broad subject that connects from: Country, Pop, Gospel, Opera, Hip-Hop, Rap, Tech, R&B etc. I am an individual who sees the beauty and greatness in all music, but happens to be passionate about two particular genres previously listed. R&B and Hip-Hop are two genres of music that are capable of dissection into small details, separating their differences and similarities. When I listen to and/or observe these two genres, I tend to notice certain contrasts and comparisons.
