Learning “Jazz” gave me a masters degree in music. “Jazz” is American Classical Music, came out of a need to be heard, to be understood, a voice when black America did not have one. This is why the music is more than just an art form, it was created from blood, guts and heart of those who suffered in this world. Its not to be taken lightly. If you do take it lightly it will never sound right. Thank you to all the courageous musicians who made the world hear them, their innovation came out of their experiences of the time that they lived. A treasure to the world. “American Classical Music”. “Imitate, Assimilate, Innovate” a quote by Clark Terry.
