Some of the most intelligent music ever made by anyone ever it combines the talent and expertise of a classical symphony with the soul of a garage band and adds in an improvisational element which is equivalent of making up music on the go.
Most modern jazz is based around 70s style funk and is heavily influenced by classic rock which although when all separate are great things do not combine to make a viable music genre.
Many old school jazz musicians are household names, although it is becoming rarer and rarer to see a jazz CD or record in someones home. A few examples would be John Coltrane, Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, and Ella Fitzgerald.
This music was first started with the ragtime movement in the late 19th century where piano tunes such as the Maple Leaf Rag and The Entertainer by Scott Joplin were played in bars and saloons all over the country.
Soon thereafter a mixture of soul, gospel and French music formed in New Orleans and formed the famous New Orleans brass band type of music. A good example of this is "The Saints Go Marching In" by Louis Armstrong
These generally happy Dixieland songs coexisted with the blues until the great depression era when Swing Music and Big Band took hold. Swing and Big Band Music such as Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman and Count Basie were easily danceable tunes played for large audiences during the horrors of the Great Depression to relieve the tension of the times. This type of music persisted until the post WW2 era when musicians began making the greatest type of music for themselves
In the beatnik era of the late 40s thru 40s Bebop jazz took hold which was an incredibly fast and tough to play style meant to challenge the best of the Jazz musicians. In this period Jazz musicians received artistic liberation because now they formed quartets and quintets making music the challenge their mind body and soul.
The Last chapter of old jazz was about in the late 50s when smooth jazz took hold as music for intellectuals. Miles Davis and John Coltrane successfully switched over from Bebop to smooth and cool jazz in this era.

1) Music originating from america in the 1960's. Created for people to dance to, with a prominent bass line and clever loops and samples. The most innovative style of music around today, encouraging new and varied ideas to emerge into the mainstream only to be knocked out of the charts by some pansie pop group or boyband who's records are bought by young girls.
Note: Dance music is not pop music. People who think that this is the case have never heard real dance music. pathetic people who call themselves djs by producing a re-make with a heavy beat and female vocals do not produce dance music. they produce poor quality pop.

Purple. Perfection through confusion. Existence through voice. Omniscience. The lost Oracle, found only by mistake, your loss will bring forth gain. Her answers are hidden in song. Trustworthy Siren - she delivers a message and promises salvation. She gives warmth, compassion, understanding, reason. Headache. love.
A trip to Nordland. The Musical Mermaid calls and says nothing - you hear silence. Faint breath, subtle clicking and rustling paper. You listen. Confusion sets, and a greater understanding of her presence settles. Purple.
