Most jazz musicians start with a basic tune or melody and then change and recreate it as they go along.
mixed African American musicians in New Orleans created jazz by combining African rhythms and harmonies with elements of blues music, European orchestral and band music, popular songs, and African American spirituals and work songs.
European musical structures were combined with an African approach to performance, which included more flexible rhythm and the use of the blues scale.
These bands included a bass section, several brass instruments, banjos, and an occasional piano.
In 1918, the Original Dixieland Jazz Band released a recording, now considered to be the first jazz record.
