Genius of Early Jazz
Then in 1935, a form called “Swing” evolved and with bigger bands became hugely popular. Clubland sorted itself out, ballrooms were built, huge theatres were filled, which with radio and records brought jobs back to musicians and singers
There were a number of geniuses in the early evolution of jazz, which is a uniquely American form of music. It originated in the bars, bordellos and marching bands of the polyglot New Orleans culture. In 1917, a federal law shut down the bordellos. With that loss of prosperity, jazz moved onto riverboats and up the Mississippi, on the way to Chicago and Davenport, Iowa. The latter produced Bix Beiderbecke, a true genius in composing and playing the new and evolving music. Coming out of Chicago, Eddie Condon played banjo and then guitar, but his genius was in getting musicians together; always insisting upon improvisation. Welcome to CFP’s Comment Section!
