In Harlem Jazz music was most popular and influential and when the Harlem Renaissance came about jazz was an influential to music at that time. When it came to jazz there was know wrong way to play jazz. All the music that played was said to come from the heart. Jazz is an improvisational skill by the performed and the instrumentalist. There is know script, the performer creates the rhythm.
Many time people played jazz to relief there stress of the economy ,others played jazz to have fun while speaking through there music and entertaining other's. There were many style and characteristics when it came too jazz,one of which was called the "boogie-woogie". The "boggie woogie"was a dance that involved a short accented bass pattern that played repeatedly while the right hand plays freely, using many different rhythms and techniques. Although it wasn't as popular in its time, it arose again in the 1940 when jazz pianist Teddy Wilson began to find interest in the technique and took it to new heights.
Jazz is a type of art that is very soothing i would say, and if your like myself when your stress you find music to calm you. That is why i chose to do this piece especially, because its very soothing to the mind and it is played beautifully. I liked this piece because you can hear the passion and different emotion in the music. You can tell that the artist has a story behind the music, and its a story about happiness,sorrow, joy and love. Its a story that tells whats he's feeling along with many others.
