The origin of jazz

Jazz is a musical genre that originated inAfrican American communities of New Orleans, USA. Developed in the late XIX and early XX centuries. Jazz, born in America, can be seen as a reflection of the cultural diversity and individualism of this country.

There are many styles: classical jazz; hot jazz; style of Chicago; swing-style; Kansas City; gypsy jazz (it is also called jazz manush).

Gypsy Jazz

Gypsy jazz (also known as Europeandirection of jazz-manush) is the style of jazz music, which, it is believed, was launched by the gypsy guitarist Jean (Django) Reinhard in Paris in the 1930s. Since this style comes from France, and Django is from the Gypsy clan of Manuche, it is often called the French name Jazo Manush, or alternatively manouche jazz. This term is now widely used for this style of music.

In those days, the dancemusic, and many of the musicians of the dance hall were gypsies. They traveled for the most part of Central Europe without loyalty to any particular country. Some of them remained nomads, and some settled where they could find work. They brought with them many ideas and filled regional popular music with their styles. Thus, the music of jazz-manush was influenced by the culture of different countries: Russia, Italy, Belgium, Spain and the Middle East, as well as the Balkans.
