Jazz



Jazz''' is a music genre that originated at the beginning of the 20th century in African American communities in the Southern United States from a confluence of African and European music traditions.

The word "jazz" began as a United States West Coast slang term and was first used to refer to this kind of music in Chicago at about 1915.

From its beginnings in the early 20th century jazz has spawned a variety of subgenres. As the music has spread around the world it has drawn on local national and regional musical cultures, its aesthetics being adapted to its varied environments and giving rise to many distinctive styles.

==Jazz in Southern Victory==

The type of music played by such black artists as Satchmo and his band, and for which there was no precise specific name beyond That kind of music, was a  music genre that originated at the beginning of the 20th century in Black communities in the southern part of the Confederacy. It became highly popular throughout the Confederacy, among both Blacks and Whites, and was one of the most enduring cultural links between these two communities – as evident from the fact that even when well-embarked on Population Reduction, the systematic murder of all Blacks, Satchmo and his band still got highly ehthusiastic responses when performing before Confederate soldiers on occupation duty in Ohio.

However, this type of music remained a specific cultural characteristic of the Confederacy and failed to spread beyond its borders. Sepcifically, north of the border citizens of the US failed to show an interest in the music of their hated traditional enemy, as Satchmo found out when defecting to the US and trying to continue his musical career there. And also such European countries as Britain and France, which traditionally supported the Confederacy in wartime, are not known to have extended that alliance to any significant importation of Confederate music.
