El jazz es la música clásica estadounidense. La inventaron en Nueva Orleans al principio del Siglo XX los negros descendientes de esclavos o los llegados de Haiti y de otras islas del Caribe. El jazz se separó enseguida de los otros géneros por tres cosillas muy elementales pero muy básicas. Primero, era música que dependía de la improvisación, de que el musico se hiciera compositor al tocar y de un ritmo singular, el «swing.» Esos tres elementos eran necesarios para hacer jazz. Claro, a través de los años el swing se sustituyo por otros ritmos pero la improvisación siguió y así surgieron varios tipos de jazz. Naturalmente el Jazz se coló en casi todos los estilos musicales incluyendo el Flamenco y también en la danza y yo lo he metido en mi arte que se hace siguiendo esos tres principios fundamentales. Ojalá os guste…

Jazz is the American classical music. It was invented in New Orleans at the beginning of the 20th century by black descendants of slaves or those who came from Haiti and other Caribbean islands. Jazz quickly distinguished itself from other genres by three very basic but fundamental elements. Firstly, it relied on improvisation, where the musician becomes a composer while playing, and it had a unique rhythm called «swing.» These three elements were necessary to make jazz. Over the years, the swing rhythm was replaced by other rhythms, but improvisation remained, giving rise to various types of jazz. Naturally, jazz found its way into almost every musical style, including flamenco, and even into dance. I have incorporated jazz into my art, following these three fundamental principles. I hope you like it…

    Pardon my dumb. I missed one. Three elements: improv, swing, and what?

    1. Improv, swing (rhythm) and the performer (player) as composer… The three elements that were also used by the early rock groups and players like Hendrix, Clapton and Jimmy Page, as well as the jazz men… And a good afternoon to you Espie!

        Culturally for me, a misplaced comma. Thankee, Francisco foe suggesting improv and composer separate ideas.

      2. They are not one and the same my friend. An improv is only done during your solos, or upon a piece of music someone else wrote, while being player/performer you are providing the substance, the key, harmony and chords for others to improvise over…
