Hip Hop And Jazz
Two genres in dance that I chose where hip hop and jazz. One example for hip hop is Tiffany and George performing “Out of my mind”. An also another example of jazz is Charlie and Tommy performing to Circus. There are a lot of things that are great about the hip hop dance they had, facials, there moves were very sharp and there costumes matched the music. This is important to the genre because it has its own rhythm and it’s different than other dances. The jazz dance is very significant because the routine had a lot of technique and facials, there moves were also sharp as well. This is important to the genre because you have to know a little bit of hip hop and contemporary and you also have to have a lot of facials. Genre is significant to dance

    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.…

    Similarities Between Jazz And Hip Hop

    New genres of music often start off with an underground following. As the music evolves it eventually loses its subversive feel. It is no longer revolutionary nor a creative art form, thus it becomes a product of popular culture found amongst the demographics of MTV. One popular style of music that grew by countering American culture is jazz. Today jazz is often compared to hip-hop; both art forms have grown from an underground following to counter American culture. Furthermore, jazz has heavily influenced many of hip-hops' elements found within the music. The cultural similarities and musical elements influenced by jazz have had a strong impact on hip-hop.…

    Jazz Autobiography

    I started dancing before I can remember, but I have been told that I was just about three. I started out at a studio that I cannot remember, doing ballet and tap. Yet, because my entire class would have been so young it can hardly be considered dance, but rather a general physical activity with friends. When I was about to turn six my entire family moved, so I changed studios to the one I am at. I still only did tap and ballet for about three years, when I started to fall behind because everyone else was taking jazz and contemporary. So when I was going to be turning nine I started jazz and contemporary. They were all so different, but they all were quite similar (except for tap, that was pretty different). When I was asked which was my favorite I could not decide because I liked them all for different reasons. I liked jazz because I now…

    The Musical Genre: Jazz

    Jazz is one of the musical genres that represent America. It had a combination of influences from Africa and Europe. When Africans were brought to the United States as slaves, they brought their music and culture with them. Samuel A. Floyd Jr. stated “…particular musical tendencies were brought with Africans to the New World…and spread throughout African-derived populations in the United States, eventually becoming an integral part of the music we know as jazz.” African slaves used musical expression for social purpose in the 1800s; they sang songs when they are working or they played drums. The immigration of Europeans started in the seventeenth century. They brought the instrumentations, the tonality, the chords, and the form into the United…

    Dancing Through The Night And All That Jazz

    From the very beginning of the 1800’s, musicals and operas have always been an interesting and popular source of entertainment. With the introduction to film and the use a vitaphone in the early 1900’s, the production of musical films were created. A musical film had the actors singing songs that are related in with the storyline. In the years of silent films, musical films were unable to be produce because the audience would be unable to hear the actor’s voices. The vitaphone had the ability to record the actor’s voices and then play them back during the silent film. This device then led to the ability for actors to sing and dance because the songs would already be prerecorded. With musical films…

    Blues and Ragtime

    Ragtime was a very influential part of the development of jazz. Ragtime became very popular in the late 1800's. Ragtime's distinct style set it apart from the other genres. Syncopation is what defines this art form. This is when the loud accents fall in between the beats. Anything that is syncopated is basically ragtime. One of the most important ragtime composers was Scott Joplin. Like all great artists, Joplin did not restrict himself to this favored art form. Both before the advent of ragtime and after, Joplin composed marches and waltzes, including the syncopated waltzes. There's more to ragtime than syncopation, while some very good ragtime is not of the classic form. But the lines are often blurred. Ragtime's influence on other musical genres dictates that part of the character of ragtime surface in those genres. The classical composers Charles Ives, Igor Stravinsky, and Darius Milhaud were all intrigued by the opportunities that ragtime offered to express new musical ideas. Joplin himself wrote ragtime operas. As performers began to rag both melody and accompaniment, ragtime began its transformation into jazz. As classic ragtime was meant to be played as written, these artists also moved toward greater improvisation. Jelly Roll Morton recognized the coherence of ragtime but gave it more freedom, especially in the bass line. This resulted in what is known as ``stomp'' piano. Charles "Cow-Cow" Davenport, who pioneered the Boogie-Woogie style, was trained in ragtime but recorded many blues pieces. James P. Johnson was instrumental in moving ragtime toward jazz and blues, creating Stride Piano. Other developments led to the ``trumpet-piano'' style of Earl Hines and Teddy Weatherford and to the swing style of Duke Ellington. Some Historians consider ragtime to be the very first jazz style. Although it cannot actually be classified as jazz, ragtime is definitely a very influential part of jazz. In Louisiana at this time there was music everywhere.…

American Blues music has been appreciated, examined, appropriated, and immortalized through the transformation of music over the past one hundred years. Originating from African American slave songs, the blues has over time lost its relevance for black people, yet continues to be an important cultural entity and has been revered in contemporary white culture.…

    Today's society is heavily impacted by the music world.

In Jennifer McLune's “Hip-Hop's Betrayal of Black Women”, Hip-Hop is portrayed as a negative contender in the advocacy of female activism. Through the argument in this article, it can be understood that hip-Hop music more often that not, degrades women and what it means to be female.…

    African American Music

    “Music” is defined as “vocal or instrumental sounds combined in such a way as to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion” (Google); however, the real meaning in “music” is not only restricted by this definition. Any moment that one tries to pinpoint something through a rhythm, it becomes a music. Many people believe that African Americans are some of the few people whose soul is expressed exclusively through music. Black American music represents their spirits, which started as the voice that was prohibited. Since Africans were brought to the United States as slaves, they lost their basic human rights due to their slaveholders fear of a slave rebellion. Therefore, slaves were not allowed to learn to read or write. Tolerating…
