you got it all wrong. Jazz was a descendant of the blues. see jazz was a bourgeois version of the blues. Jazz was what the more cultured black folks listened to after the Black Exodus of the early 19th century. Delta Blues is where it started well before Jazz was even a state of mind.
Jazz was an evolution of 2 styles of music. the snooty Vaudeville acts with the big band sound and the delta blues.

dont get me started i have at least 100 hours of research on this very subject

no...ur right...for some reason i was thinking that "big band" was before blues:wow:..i also have done alot of blues, jazz

if anyone here would like i have like a 17 page rough draft of my always ongoing project on this. i also get in depth of the importance of the resurgance of the blues in the UK and why these white kids in the UK like Mike Jagger and Eric Clapton liked the blues. why they associated with poor black men from southern US.

it was, i said it myself. but the big band sound is not jazz...jazz is the product of both sounds. thus jazz is just the red headed stepchild.

your bringing me down with your ignorance

my ignorance? lets see blues came about during the slave trade era. kinda like fubu..... for us by us. same goes for blues. read the lyrics and you'll see where i'm getten at. listen to some of that dirty south missisippi blues. all they talk about is getten drunk and fvcken up the white man.... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

i wouldn't consider it a rip off, just another artist's version...and drunkenness is one of the best times to listen to this type of music

the thing is they didnt rip them off...the blues explosion in the UK kept artists like John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, and Son House from being homeless and broke. if it wasnt for the emergence of the blues in the UK these symbolic blues artists would have been washed up by the early 60's

in the fine arts, we considered big band to be a part or style of jazz....and jazz became an emergence

Call me crazy, but I don't care much for music's origin or history, I just care if I turn it on and at this day and age it moves me. When/where/how it was made doesn't change my decision to listen to it or not.

Some may consider my music appreciation shallow, I know.

they deserved alot more compensation and recognition than what they got.
