Description: Jazz music has come a long way since its inception a half-century ago in and near New Orleans. Past the crude period in which native American Negro work songs, religious music and traditional spirituals characterized its infant years, jazz has proceeded hesitantly and imperceptibly at times, swiftly and confidently at other periods, through many colorful eras. Yet today it remains essentially the same exciting and invigorating music that it was at its birth. Jazz gains in strength every year. The infant nears maturity. Its influence on music the world over can in no way be overestimated. Like swing, the word ragtime is a term used to mistakenly describe jazz. Dixieland and blues are others which have been incorrectly applied. Like boogie-woogie these terms describe types of jazz which make up this fascinating art form. Fats Waller is quoted as saying "If you don't know what jazz is by now, then you've got no business messin' with it." That neatly approximates the attitude of this writer.
