Jazz
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jazz is a genre of music that originated in African American communities during the late 19th and early 20th century. It emerged in many parts of the United States in the form of independent popular musical styles, all linked by the common bonds of African American and European Americanmusical parentage with a performance orientation.[1] Jazz spans a period of over 100 years and encompasses a range of music from ragtime to the present day, and has proved to be very difficult to define. Jazz makes heavy use of improvisation, polyrhythms, syncopation and the swung note,[2] as well as aspects of European harmony, American popular music,[3] the brass band tradition, and African musical elements such as blue notes and ragtime.[1] The birth of Jazz in the multicultural society of America has led intellectuals from around the world to hail Jazz as "one of America's original art forms".[4]
As jazz spread around the world, it drew on different national, regional, and local musical cultures, giving rise to many distinctive styles. New Orleans jazz began in the early 1910s, combining earlier brass band marches, French quadrilles, biguine, ragtime and blues with collectivepolyphonic improvisation. In the 1930s, heavily arranged dance-oriented swing big bands, Kansas City jazz, a hard-swinging, bluesy, improvisational style and Gypsy jazz (a style that emphasized Musette waltzes) were the prominent styles. Bebop emerged in the 1940s, shifting jazz from danceable popular music towards a more challenging "musician's music" which was played at faster tempos and used more chord-based improvisation. Cool jazz developed in the end of the 1940s, introducing calmer, smoother sounds and long, linear melodic lines.
The 1950s saw the emergence of free jazz, which explored playing without regular meter, beat and formal structures, and in the mid-1950s, hard bop, which introduced influences from rhythm and blues, gospel music, and blues, especially in the saxophone and piano playing. Modal jazzdeveloped in the late 1950s, using the mode, or musical scale, as the basis of musical structure and improvisation. Jazz-rock fusion appeared in the late 1960s and early 1970s, combining jazz improvisation with rock rhythms, electric instruments and the highly amplified stage sound of rock. In the early 1980s, a commercial form of jazz fusion called smooth jazz became successful, garnering significant radio airplay. Other jazz styles include Afro-Cuban jazz, West Coast jazz, ska jazz, Indo jazz, avant-garde jazz, soul jazz, chamber jazz, Latin jazz, jazz funk, loft jazz, punk jazz,acid jazz, ethno jazz, jazz rap, M-Base, spiritual jazz and nu jazz.
Prominent jazz musician Louis Armstrong observed: "At one time they were calling it levee camp music, then in my day it was ragtime. When I got up North I commenced to hear about jazz, Chicago style, Dixieland, swing. All refinements of what we played in New Orleans... There ain't nothing new."[5] Or as jazz musician J. J. Johnson put it in a 1988 interview: "Jazz is restless. It won't stay put and it never will."[6]

Arthur Ashe, The Legendary Wimbledon Player was dying of AIDS.
Inspiring story.. A Beautiful Message
which he got due to Infected Blood he received during a Heart
Surgery in 1983!
He received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed:
"Why did God have to select you for such a bad
disease??"
To this Arthur Ashe replied:
50 Million children started playing Tennis,
5 Million learnt to play Tennis,
500 000 learnt Professional Tennis,
50 Thousand came to Circuit,
5 Thousand reached Grandslam,
50 reached Wimbledon,
4 reached the Semifinals,
2 reached the Finals and
when I was holding the cup in my hand,
I never asked God
"Why Me?"
So now that I'm in pain how can I ask God "Why Me?"
Happiness
keeps you Sweet!!
Trials
keeps you Strong!!
Sorrows
keeps you Human!!
Failure
keeps you Humble!!
Success
keeps you Glowing!!
But
only,
Faith keeps
you Going.
Sometimes you are unsatisfied with your life,
while many people in this world are dreaming of living
your life..
A child on a farm sees a plane fly overhead dreams of
flying.
But, A pilot on the plane sees the farmhouse dreams of
returning home.
That's life!!
Enjoy yours...
If wealth is the secret to happiness, then the rich should
be dancing on the streets.
But only poor kids do that.
If power ensures security, then VIPs should
walk unguarded.
But those who live simply, sleep soundly.
If beauty and fame bring ideal relationships, then
celebrities should have the best marriages.
Live simply. Walk humbly.
and love genuinely..!
