How did other music influence jazz music/ its creation?
Jazz is a musical style that originated at the beginning of the 20th century in black communities in the Southern United States. It was born out of a mix of African and European music traditions. Its African pedigree is evident in its use of blue notes, improvisation, polyrhythms, syncopation and the swung note. From its early development until the present day jazz has also incorporated elements from American popular music.
Joachim Berendt (jazz critic) defines jazz as a "form of art music which originated in the United States through the confrontation of blacks with European music"
