Finally, it notes Jack Cole as the "Father of Jazz Dance" and performer in Broadway musicals known for his acrobatic and angular Cole-style dancing.

The document discusses several influential jazz dance choreographers including Katherine Dunham, Pearl Primus, Agnes de Mille, Gene Kelly, Jerome Robbins, and Bob Fosse. It provides examples of major works each choreographer contributed to help establish jazz dance as a theatrical art form in America.
Historical and social context of jazz dance
Jazz dance originated from African slave cultures brought to America in the 1600s. Slaves were forced to blend their diverse African traditions, creating a new culture with both African and European influences. In the 19th century, minstrel shows popularized the slaves' music and dance styles among white audiences. Over time, jazz dance developed influences from various genres like ballet, modern, and social dances that emerged in the early 20th century. Jazz dance continued evolving through the decades, influenced by new musical styles like rock and roll, Motown, and hip hop, and was popularized through movies and music videos. It remains a dynamic genre that both honors its roots and innovates new styles.

JAZZ MUSIC.pdf
Jazz is a music genre that originated in the African-American communities of New Orleans, Louisiana, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with its roots in blues and ragtime. Since the 1920s Jazz Age, it has been recognized as a major form of musical expression in traditional and popular music.
As jazz spread around the world, it drew on national, regional, and local musical cultures, which gave rise to different styles. New Orleans jazz began in the early 1910s, combining earlier brass band marches, French quadrilles, biguine, ragtime and blues with collective polyphonic improvisation. But jazz did not begin as a single musical tradition in New Orleans or elsewhere. In the 1930s, arranged dance-oriented swing big bands, Kansas City jazz (a hard-swinging, bluesy, improvisational style), and gypsy jazz (a style that emphasized musette waltzes) were the prominent styles. Bebop emerged in the 1940s, shifting jazz from danceable popular music toward a more challenging "musician's music" which was played at faster tempos and used more chord-based improvisation. Cool jazz developed near the end of the 1940s, introducing calmer, smoother sounds and long, linear melodic lines.

The Art of Listening to Jazz
Jazz originated in New Orleans in the early 20th century, combining elements of ragtime, blues, and African rhythms.

Jazz then spread nationwide, with pioneering artists like Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and Thelonious Monk developing the art of improvisation. Central to jazz is the ability to listen closely and play together cohesively as a group, building on each other's ideas. The personality and creativity of individual jazz musicians also shapes their distinctive musical voices.
