Jazz comes in many varieties and in this article I will compare and contrast three of these styles, including New Orleans Jazz, Stride Harlem, and White Jazz. For the style of New Orleans that I’m on the song “Potato Head Blues” by Louis Armstrong and his Hot Seven, Harlem Stride chose the song “Charleston” by James P. Johnson and, finally, I chose the song “No No Man Sweet” by Paul Whitman to represent White Jazz.
New Orleans is the birthplace of jazz and New Orleans style is one of the oldest forms of Jazz. At the time of the birth of jazz in the late 1800s that blacks were oppressed and isolated. This led them to have their own music that was deeply rooted in music and rhythm. After the Civil War took many more tools available and many blacks who bought and started playing music. These Blacks have not played their instruments well, but makes use of rhythm very clearly what has led to jazz music first. White Jazz was the response of the white community in new black music. In the early white musicians played songs written by blacks, but eventually developed their own style, he lost
some feeling nervous and I think now only swing as much as the black music of the era. Harlem Stride is the oriental style of jazz piano, played with his left hand, alternating between bass notes and mid-range notes. It makes sense to the song oom-pah, and while the left hand is occupied by the passage of the right hand free to play complex melodies.
As mentioned above has its roots in the rhythm of jazz, has the feeling that you can not explain with words, but immediately recognizable in his hearing. Listening to the songs on “Potato Head Blues” and “No gentle man” is easy to find similarities in the rhythm they use. Both are written in 4 / 4 and use of very low notes played on instruments brass to keep pace. Moreover, in the song “Charleston” there is only a tool and piano, but there are still very low single notes played on the piano to keep a pace as fast as piano movers wanting to get home after a show. These three songs are played at a rapid pace, but “No man is sweet” seems somewhat played at a much slower pace. This is achieved in the song that the musicians play their instruments in an almost total indifference.
Many people do not consider jazz jazz symbolized true because it is impossible to capture the feeling of jazz scoring. Paul Whitman uses musical notation in his song “No man is sweet,” as he was played by a full orchestra would have otherwise been impossible to play with this large a group. Both the “Potato Head Blues” and “Charleston” is symbolized by registered, allowing for some spontaneity in the recording which is a big part of The Feeling of Jazz. Sometimes the melody of a song can be lost to non-trained ear the way the song is interpreted in a jazz style. These three songs were designed to be played as jazz and is regarded as the jazz and the songs “Charleston” and “No man is sweet” is easy to learn the melody, but when I hear “Potato Head Blues” the melody is difficult for me at first because a lot happens.
“Potato Head Blues” begins immediately with the style of polyphony which is mainly why I can not find the melody, so at first. “No man is sweet” is a short introduction that breaks everything in a homophonic and although there is still much to do in the song of all instruments spin around a melody. Hearing these songs I hear and sweet harmonies along this line of harmony used in the songs very enjoyable listen. “Charleston” is a fun song and happy to hear, but it is only an instrument, the piano, not so much depth to him as the other songs. “No man is sweet,” a full orchestra is used as wind instruments and strings. Using many parts of a song creates a fullness to the music and a complexity that is not easily reproducible. “It is not a gentle man” uses the melody of trumpet and voice. “Potato Head Blues” also uses the trumpet as the melody of the main carrier, but many other instruments are used as the trumpet, and even a guitar.
The general tone and feeling of the songs are very different from each other, “Charleston” is a happy song that has a fun side to it, I would describe as the song that has a hot and cold at the same time. “It is not a gentle man” has a distant feel to it while the instruments play the intro, but even after the song starts there is still a distant feeling mixed with the lyrics. For most, “Charleston” has a single volume the whole song, but it still uses the dynamics of hard and soft highlight different parts of the song. “Potato Head Blues” and “No man is sweet” using a variety of volume levels and dynamic meaning of the songs together. This is partly possible by different instruments, using softer instruments like guitar, on a bridge in the song can be particularly effective as a transfer to another part of the song.
These three songs are regarded as Jazz and I think we all have to swing for what is essentially a jazz song. However, these songs swing different ways, “Charleston” Harlem stride used to keep the song moving and releasing the right hand plays the melody in a jazz style swing that is full of fun. “Potato Head Blues” used to attract high polyphony care of listeners from the beginning and finally plunges into the solos, where musicians show the ability to improvise in the jazz style, which are an amazing way. ” It is not a gentle man “can not, offhand, the feeling that the other two songs are, but it uses all the instruments on behalf of the group and the result is very well organized piece that manages to win the sense of jazz improvisation without direct.
