Jazz is a music
formed from a combination of influences. In its infancy, jazz was a
melting pot of military brass bands, work songs and field hollers of the
United States slaves during the 19th century, European harmonies and
forms, and the rhythms of Africa and the Caribbean. Later, the blues and
the influence of Spanish and French Creoles with European classical
training nudged jazz further along in its development. Jazz has always
been a world-music in the sense that music from around the globe has
been embraced and incorporated.
