[QUOTE]Originally posted by meninarmer: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: [qb] [QUOTE]Jazz is mostly inspired by Classical.[/QUOTE]^ not. Miles was trained at Juliard, but most Jazz greats were neither classically trained nor inspired. Jazz is rooted in Blues, which is in turn rooted in African music. Most of the founders of Jazz - from Armstrong and earlier had heard little [or no] classical music. [/qb][/QUOTE]I know this first hand, but seeing your are a white boy I understand your confusion. This can be easily corrected if you but bother to read the autobiographies of Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Sun Ra or Charley Parker. You sound if you believe Jazz musicians only played in juke joints and did not have access to records. Of course Jazz has deep roots in previous BLACK art forms starting with GOSPEL. For whites, the beginning of black music is always Blues. For blacks the beginning and end is Gospel. As a progression, Jazz drew heavily upon Classical music also. They all were huge fans of Classical music. Their goal was to create an art that would stand the test of time, yet be eccentrically based in music theory. Likewise, many Classical composers are great fans of Jazz. An example showing the Gospel base of Jazz married with classical chord structures of Classical.
