Jazz Music

Right now I am listening to Blue Trail. All there is playing is music. Josh just flipped out because it is a ten minute song. The saxophone just jumped into the song. The saxophone is very good. It makes me want to get up and dance. The sudden saxophone entering the song makes it cheerful. I think that Jazz music came around to give the blacks and other people in this genre some hope and something to do. Playing music is very fun. The saxophone is still playing. I can tell that the saxophone is a very important instrument to Jazz. The story I see withing this song is a couple is walking down the road and they are in Louisiana. Louisiana is the prime state for Jazz music. there is now a piano playing. It is very smooth. Now the symbols are playing. No the song is about to end and the music is very mellow. It kind of resembles the sadness they are going through. Black people had a lot of sadness through out their lives. They had to go through slavery. Now in the middle 19th century during the modernism period, they were going through the civil rights movement. This was a time when blacks were discriminated against. They were not allowed to use the same things as white were. Like Rosa Parks and not being able to sit in a seat labeled for a white man. She was arrested for it. The black culture was greatly influenced by Jazz because the black people needed something to take their minds off of their trouble. It was very interesting music to listen to. They express so much soul in their music. The modernism era brought out great jazz music. It was also a time of "beats". They were poets and novelist who had very bizarre thoughts and actions. The Jazz era defined greatness in our country by the blacks over coming their sorrows and finding something they are passionate about.
