Jazz: "Jazz" means "copulation". It is a music of the Afro-Americans influenced by European harmonic structure and African rhythmic complexity... it is a shout of sorrow and hope, alive, unrestricted, flashy, confronting the immense social and soul problems. With a moving African rhythm, they shout out the melancholy and hope with the trumpet, saxophone, clarinet, piano, bass, drums... and there is always a person singing or like talking, in contrast with the Blues, where the trumpet or piano are the stars without anybody singing. The result is a music diverging widely, even violently, from the previous canons of musical composition, because it is the musical experience of a passing moment, shouting the words with incisive rhythms, and often danced with acrobatic and even grotesque steps. Jazz, with Blues and Country Music, are the precursors of Rock. Some churches use it in their religious services. In New Orleans, Louis Armstrong purified it, in form and in content, with beautiful themes of love and majesty, making it more accessible to greater audiences. Blues: "Blue" means "melancholy". The Blues are the children of Jazz, with a slow rhythm, where you can experience, and even touch, the melancholy and deep sorrow of a given situation in the soul or in the social live... and usually the trumpet or piano are the ones to express these feelings, without any person singing. Gershwin made them classic, with his Rhapsody in Blue. Country Music is joyful, expressing real facts of daily life in the country: Love, sorrows, illusions, the horse...there is a guitar and fiddle and banjo and electronic instruments, but there is always someone singing the rhythmic message from the beginning to the end. Johnny Cash is a king in this field. Bluegrass is a most joyful music, and here the banjo is the king, with the mandolin and fiddle. It emerged in the United States after World War II, originated by Bill Monroe.
