Dixieland (New Orleans Jazz)

Origin Around 1910 a new style of music, Jazz, became popular in New Orleans, Louisiana. Jazz was influenced by many sources: – It used the strong beat and instruments (brass, woodwind, drums) of Band. – It used the syncopation of Ragtime. – It used the strong emotions and energy of African-American Spirituals. – It used the “blue” notes and scale of Blues, as well as the 12-bar blues chords. This early kind of jazz was known as “Dixieland,” “New Orleans Jazz” or “Hot Jazz.”

New Elements in Jazz: Swing Jazz is almost always performed with a “swing” beat. Swing: Performing 8 th notes with a lilting rhythm (even if they aren’t written that way.) Instead of splitting the beat evenly, the 1 st note gets 2/3 and the 2 nd only gets a 1/3. Blues Scale with “Straight” and “Swung” Beats: More Straight vs. Swing: “Straight” (normal) 8 th notes“Swung” 8 th Notes Doo - Bah Doo - Bah

New Elements: Improvisation Improvisation: Making up parts of the song on the spot. In Jazz, musicians often add additional notes to the melody, or even make up totally new melodies in the middle of performances. In Dixiland Jazz, each instrumentalist usually made up their own individual parts on the spot that fit with the song they were playing. Each song never sounded the same twice! Listen to hear instruments’ improvised parts in this video:

“Jelly Roll” Morton Ferdinand “Jelly Roll” Morton ( ) was one of the first in a long tradition of Jazz pianists. By adding swing and improvisation to the Ragtime piano style, he helped to create the early Jazz sound. Joplin’s Ragtime “Maple Leaf Rag”: Jelly Roll’s new Jazz “Stomp” version:

Louis Armstrong Trumpeter, singer & band leader Louis (Loo-ee) Armstrong ( ) was the most influential jazz musician of the “Dixieland” era. He was a master improviser and played higher on his trumpet than any jazz musician before. He created Scat Singing: improvising sung Jazz using nonsense syllables like “dat-a bat-a bit”. Through his long career, he constantly toured, recorded, and even appeared in movies with his Jazz band. His style of jazzy singing and trumpet playing has inspired countless jazz musicians even to this day.

Recordings “When the Saints Go Marching In” was an African-American Spiritual that Louis Armstrong turned into probably the most popular Dixieland song ever: Pay attention to each instrument’s improvisation, especially Louis’ trumpet playing and the female singer’s “scat singing”. Though Jazz moved on to bigger and more complicated styles, Dixieland Jazz is still frequently performed in New Orleans and throughout the world.
