The music that played in African American clubs was faster and wilder than the jazz played by the white dance halls, but even the jazz in the African American clubs was tame in comparison to the jazz of New Orleans. King Oliver is the best example of the shift in style that occurred when musicians moved from New Orleans to Chicago. King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band was highly successful in New Orleans. The early New York Jazz music was influenced by ragtime music, which had been popular there in the early 1900s. Scott Joplin had played in New York, and other great musicians followed in his footsteps.
Although a very popular and successful artist on his own, he was also very popular with his group The Hot Five. Along with his brilliant instrumental talent, Armstrong helped boost the popularity of scat singing in jazz music. Even though he wasn’t the first musician to include vocals in his music, his creativity helped popularize it in future jazz styles and songs. Another very popular style of jazz that emerged around the time of prohibition was swing music. Swing music was dance music performed by big bands and featured complex solo improve acts by some of the best musicians in the scene.
From Vaudeville, Broadway, and Hollywood musical movies, to ragtime, jazz, swing, and rock and roll, all the way to television variety shows after the depression; the pianos of Tin Pan Alley are credited for laying the foundation for the many entertainments that have endured for over two hundred years. Before radio, people had pianos for entertainment purposes. This made Tin Pan Alley’s technique of having musicians pump out songs to then sell sheet music to consumers profitable since more often than not Tin Pan Alley’s publishers only paid a modest flat rate per song. The publishers had “pluggers” that they would pay to incorporate songs into acts in front of consumers. In doing this they created a synergy with the live entertainment industry that got consumers to buy sheet music as well as tickets to live entertainment acts.
The government could not control all these invasions, so this was another component that helped the fall of the Roman Empire. Document 5 shows bias because it blames the fall of the civilization on internal decay. This is significant because if a very well organized government that had been able to keep order throughout such a large empire could no longer do it, then this meant nobody else could. All of these political
Disco and Dance Music If ever a musical style defined a decade, Disco was the definition of the 1970s. Although its popularity was relatively short-lived, the genre hosted a great deal of songs and artists that people are still dancing to today and had a large influence on the fashions of the decade, too. Van McCoy's "The Hustle" has often been referred to as the definitive disco track and many people say it was the first disco song created. Gloria Gaynor also enjoyed disco popularity with her anthem "I Will Survive." The Bee Gees also helped to define the disco genre with their hit "Jive Talkin'" and their blockbuster "Stayin'
Aftermath of World War 1 unleashed the red scare. Nativism rose and led to the passing of many anti-immigration laws. The original Ku Klux Klan had died, but during this time period a new one had emerged. The movement to ban alcohol caused became a national policy and upset many Americans. The technological and cultural changes ushered in the modern world.
In recent times, there has been a definite increase in the popularity of Latin American music and culture outside of the continent. Cuban “son” music has received a superior understanding and consciousness about it through the release of the Buena Vista Social Club album in 1997 and the subsequent documentary film on its production. The Argentinean Tango has also received exposure through television and in Hollywood films in addition to an already growing fan base. The effects of this globalisation, however, has been criticised in the way Latin American music has been portrayed by the various foreign media and clichéd view over the music, born out of ignorance and inaccurate coverage. The articles “The Buena Vista Social Club” by Tanya Katerí Hernandez and “Globalisation and the Tango” by Chris Goertzen and María Susana Azzi have both discussed the issue of the globalisation of Latin American music and how it is portrayed in foreign countries.
I think again the individual who become narcotics addict does not have strong motivation in the other direction. Junk wins by default. My husband told me that he were just curiosity and his friends was using it. And one day he started feeling sick and that when he know that he was a addict. Before my husband die, he got cleaned but it was to late for him.
Along with the arrival of jazz icons people found another way of expressing their emotions during these depressing times in the form of dancing. Bands began to play in an alternate form of jazz called Dixieland and other styles so people can dance[2]. From a contrasting point of view Classical music has an alternate beginning and a very controversial development. The root of its origin date way back in the 1750’s, where the patronage system of the Baroque began to die out and was replaced by the first public concerts where people paid to attend. However, in this modern day society classical music spans from over a much longer time frame from 1600 up to the present day.
It has been said that prior to casinos, Atlantic City used to be the slum by the sea, and now it is the slum by the sea with casinos. The areas around casinos in Atlantic City are thriving, but unlike Las Vegas, Atlantic City has neglected the rest of the city and has not put the effort for the revitalization of the rest of the city. An example of this is Atlantic City does not compliment surrounding businesses like restaurants. Why would you go outside of the casino to eat when the casino has restaurants inside that will even bring your food to you at the slots or tables? A full accounting of the costs must be done and it is difficult.
