 | | Jazz, the 1978 record album by Ry Cooder. | | | Early jazz influences found their first mainstream expression in the marching band and dance band music of the day, which was the standard form of popular concert music at the turn of century. | | | At the root of jazz is the blues, the folk music of former African slaves in the U.S. South and their descendants, heavily influenced by West African cultural and musical traditions, that evolved as black musicians migrated to the cities. |

| | Jazz |
| | Three characteristics have distinguished jazz throughout its history: (1) improvisation; (2) a distinctive rhythmic approach known as swing; and (3) an expectation that each jazz musician should attain a unique, individual sound through his or her distinctive improvisational approach to harmony, melody, and rhythm, and often through intentional variations or distortions of tone and timbre. | | | The attempt to combine jazz and classical music came to be termed third-stream music, partly on the basis of the MJQ's album Third Stream Music (1960). | | | Successive jazz styles-including New Orleans, swing, bebop, cool, hard bop, free jazz, jazz-rock, and neotraditionalism-have, to a considerable extent, reflected an increase in musical complexity, both in the playing of individual soloists and in the work of composers and arrangers. |

| | The World of Jazz - Larousse Encyclopedia of Music |
| | All jazz is syncopated music, but not all syncopated music is jazz. | | | Jazz is based on the principles of improvisation on a given harmonic base. | | | From here on jazz was to be a musician's music, its harmonic conventions so convoluted that it became increasingly difficult for the untrained ear to distinguish the justified neologism from the unjustified solecism. |

| | How Jazz Musicians Practice |
| | Jazz pianists practice a variety of scales and modes. | | | Jazz is essentially an aural tradition as echoed in the phrase "the records are the textbooks." The extensive texts, methods, transcriptions, and resources on all aspects of how to play jazz are a relatively recent phenomenon. | | | In addition to "traditional" pianistic skills, jazz pianists must also be able to improvise, harmonize melodies, instantly transpose, and create accompaniments in a variety of styles. |

| | The sheer scope of his playing amazes musicians, particularly pianists, and it is enhanced on this recording by his interplay with the members of his trio, Howard Alden on guitar and Bob Haggart on bass. | | | Jerry Jerome is fondly remembered as the jazz tenor man in the first Glenn Miller orchestra and the top-of-the-line big bands of Red Norvo, Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw, until he left the big bands in 1941 to pursue studio work and a sucessful jingles business. | | | Johnny Varro, one of the jazz piano greats, performs some of his old favorites and a few rarely played anywhere in his first solo piano album in many years. |

| | In a way, he was back to where he started out at around the time the song was written: singing with a small jazz group—albeit this time with George Shearing's polite piano and the inevitable String Choir. | | | Despite the questionable taste of duets-beyond-the-grave, Cole's piano intro was a startling reminder of the extraordinary harmonic creativity he brought to the pop music of his time. | | | No doubt because of his jazz grounding, Cole was equally at home with the more up-tempo Orange Coloured Sky, backed by Stan Kenton And His Orchestra, Walkin' My Baby Back Home, Night Lights and Ballerina. |
