15 Most Influential Jazz Artists As one of the most well respected American art forms, jazz has shaped the music industry spawning both the careers of various musical geniuses, and an abundance of elemental new music genres. Jazz was developed in the late 19th century and early 20th century as American and European classical music was mixed with African and slave folk songs. These songs were played to a syncopated rhythm, and from this emerged ragtime, then Dixieland and subsequently Big Band, what many consider to be the beginning of modern jazz.

Optional automatic note coloration shows whether notes are consonant or dissonant with chords and scales.

Hyperlink Home Page 20 Albums To Begin A Journey into Jazz This is for you if you want to a journey into listening to jazz more seriously, or if a friend asks you what jazz records they should listen to in order to appreciate it more fully. It's no good people starting to listen to jazz on the margins; it's like giving a ten year old, Tolstoy's 'War & Peace' to read, chances are they will not make it past the first page. There are some jazz fans that can be awfully snooty about the music they love, they almost try to turn it into a club that refuses to let in new members. So we decided to put together a list of the 20 albums to start your collection with. Every one is a brilliant record and no discerning jazz fan would turn their nose up at any one of them. So our list is both credible and accessible. It includes albums like Miles Davis's, Kind of Blue, Bill Evan's, Waltz For Debby and John Coltrane's, Blue Train; all three consistently make the list of the most important jazz albums ever.
Letteratura italiana Per "letteratura italiana" intendiamo un campo vastissimo di opere, autori, testi e scritti che coprono un larghissimo arco cronologico, che va dal Duecento ai giorni nostri. In tale accezione, la storia della letteratura si intreccia indissolubilmente con la storia della lingua (e quindi con l'emersione del volgare italiano dal latino e con la sua evoluzione come lingua letteraria e poi come lingua dell'Italia unita), con la storia della cultura (in cui si alternano periodi di prestigio e di egemonia della Penisola e altri di declino sociale ed artistico) e con la storia economico-politica (che in certi frangenti orienta e condiziona la visione del mondo degli scrittori). lezioni Forse potrebbero interessarti: domande Registrati per ricevere le notifiche dai tuoi amici!
