Jazz Is Not The Kind

I Believed In Studying Just Because I Knew Education Was A Privilege. It Was The Discipline Of Study, To Get Into The Habit Of Doing Something That You Don't Want To Do.

Jazz Celebrates Older Generations And Not Just The Youth Movement. When You "sell" Only To People Of A Certain Age, You Get Cut Off From The Main Body Of Experience. The Power Of Couple Dancing And Courtship, It's Elegant, And You Wouldn't Realize America Was Once A Nation Of Dancers And Singers Today. People Of All Races Could Dance And Sing.

Jazz Music Is The Power Of Now.

New Orleans Had A Great Tradition Of Celebration. Opera, Military Marching Bands, Folk Music, The Blues, Different Types Of Church Music, Ragtime, Echoes Of Traditional African Drumming, And All Of The Dance Styles That Went With This Music Could Be Heard And Seen Throughout The City. When All Of These Kinds Of Music Blended Into One, Jazz Was Born.

Everything Comes Out In Blues Music: Joy , Pain , Struggle . Blues Is Affirmation With Absolute Elegance.
