Ты когда-нибудь слышал что-нибудь про джазз? Мы уверены что да.

Джазз это тип музыки и единственная форма искусства которая была создана в США. Джаз был создан афроамериканцами. Много черных были перевезены из Африки в Америку в качестве рабов. Разные народные песни пели черные рабы и музыка их родины играла в Америки.

Джаз это микс различных жанров музыки. Он состоит из музыки западной Африки, песен рабов и религиозной музыки. Первые джазз-бэнды появились в концке 19ого века. Они играли в барах и клубах во многих городах и крупных городах Юга, особенно Нового орлеана.

В наши дни Новый Орлеан это международный порт, и люди со всего мира приезжают в Н.О послушать джазз. Импровизация ээто важная составляющая джаза. Это значит джаз создается спонтанно. Вот почему песни джаза всегда звучат немного по-другому,когда их играют.

Со временем джаз становился более и более популярным. В 1920 джаз был популярен везде в США. К 1940ому, ты мог слышать джаз не только в клубах и барах, но и в концертных залах тоже. Сегодня джаз играют по всему миру. На каждом континенте проводятся специальные фестивали где встречаются музыканты из США, Азии, Африки, Южной Америки и Европы и делятся своей музыкоц. Джаз продолжает расти и менятся. Давайте надеятся, что чтобы не случилось джаз всегда будут играть и слушать.
