The Evolution of Jazz & RnB!


The earliest forms of jazz were known as "New Orleans jazz" and were characterized by a collective improvisation style, where each musician would take turns playing solos while the rest of the band would play background rhythms. Early days instrumentation typically included a trumpet, a clarinet, a trombone, piano, string bass, drums, and banjo or guitar. This style was popularized by musicians such as Buddy Bolden and Jelly Roll Morton and put jazz music on the map for both US and global audiences, establishing it as a bona fide mainstream cultural phenomenon.R&B notably diverged from rock music in later decades. Contemporary R&B is often driven by keyboards, synthesizers, strong bass lines, and looped drum beats. In this sense, it has more in common with hip hop than rock music. Contemporary R&B songs regularly top charts, making R&B one of the most commercially successful genres in the modern music industry.
