Creole Musicians in New Orleans and Jazz Music

"If you can not feel it, you'll never know it" - Louis Armstrong. Various kinds of music have been heard for centuries and the sound of ever-changing music continues to appeal to the public today and does not seem to be late. One type that emerged in this case was improvised musicians of black, white and creole in New Orleans, so-called jazz. Jazz has an international connection with music in Africa and Europe and has appeared in the community as a wide range of black art expression including blues and spiritual works between 1890 and 1935.

The roots of jazz music comes from the black and Creole community in the south of the United States. It dates back from the late nineteenth century to the early twentieth century. New Orleans is often regarded as the birthplace of jazz, which combines Caribbean, African and European music. Jazz is widely recognized today, but for many years the white society considered jazz music and the surrounding culture as immoral. But when Jazz arrived in the mainstream audience in 1917, creole and black musicians did not play their music. The original Dixieland band, composed of five white musicians, actually released the first commercial jazz record. Many of these white performers minimize the cultural influence of music. After 80 years, various background musicians play jazz music and musicians can even learn jazz at universities throughout the country.

In times when cultural differences divide people, the jazz movement is recognized mainly as an African American musician. Many of the early jazz musicians lived in New Orleans, but because of the racial violence and tension there, they ran to other cities such as Chicago, Kansas City, New York and so on. The movement of this musician is consistent with the jazz music broadcasted on the radio all over the country, and its style spreads to new audiences throughout the United States. Typical jazz works have introductions of musical instruments, followed by the main theme of the song. After the melody, the musician inputs improvisation or solo part. This type of improvisation is often characteristic of jazz highlights and other music genres. Solo is an opportunity for musicians to play non-instant versions of themes and show off their skills, often making happiness and encouragement to the audience, even encouraging the audience's reaction.
