Instruments: Horns (saxophone), piano History: Late 1800’s: Former slaves from West Africa influenced by music from French and Spainish settlers create a new sound.

History (continued) African rhythms French & Spainish Spirituals Folk songs Work Songs Dances & Marches 1900: African Americans cannot read music - Southern Black Musicians “played as they felt…as the spirit moved them.” 1920: Brass Bands in New Orleans Blacks expressing their newfound freedom Played at carnivals, holidays, picnics, funerals

1920’s: Jazz Bands & Dance Halls History continued 1920’s: Jazz Bands & Dance Halls Big name black musicians played swinging, free and easy feeling.
