Jazz is a musical movement that has swept the world since the 19th century. The origins of its origin are associated with the blues. This direction arose as a combination of several musical cultures. Instead of many other words, it is only worth noting that thousands of people from all over the world love and appreciate this music.

The origin of jazz

Jazz is a musical genre that originated in African-American communities in New Orleans, USA. It developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Jazz, born in America, can be seen as a reflection of the cultural diversity and individualism of this country.

Intellectuals around the world hailed jazz as "one of America's original art forms". As jazz spread throughout the world, it drew on various national musical cultures, giving rise to different genres.

The question of the origin of the word "jazz" has led to considerable research. This is thought to be related to jargon, a slang term dating back to 1860.

There are many styles: classic jazz; hot jazz; Chicago style; swing style; kansas city; gypsy jazz (it is also called jazz-manush).

Gypsy jazz

Gypsy Jazz (also known as EuropeanManouche Jazz is a style of jazz music commonly believed to have been launched by gypsy guitarist Jean (Django) Reinhard in Paris in the 1930s. Because the style is from France and Django is from the Manuche gypsy clan, it is often referred to by the French name Jazz manouche, or alternatively manouche jazz. The term is now widely used for this style of music.

Dance music was welcome in those days, and many of the dance hall musicians were gypsies. They traveled through much of Central Europe without allegiance to any particular country. Some of them remained nomads and some settled where they could find work. They brought with them many ideas and filled the regional popular music with their styles. So, the music of jazz-manush was influenced by the cultures of different countries: Russia, Italy, Belgium, Spain and the Middle East, as well as the Balkans.

Features

With the advent of bebop (in the late 40s), interest in gypsy jazz was somewhat reduced, only the style continued to exist and became one of the most beloved trends in today's jazz.

While there are many instrumental line-ups, a band consisting of one guitar, violin, two rhythm guitars and a bass is often the norm. Jazz Manouche aims for an acoustic sound, even when played at amplified gigs.
