Music Oasis . . . Jazz Music

Music Oasis has shown me that the appeal of Jazz music has truly expanded and became reinvented from the elements in African drumming, bluegrass hillbilly music, spiritual and hymn music, blues, impressionist, and classical traits to newer sounds. Jazz music became popular from radio and underground clubs that influenced other parts of the world.

                                      


Today the contemporary gospel music uses guitars, keyboard, piano, drums and brass instruments for their sound. One can usually tell during the ballads how Jazz chord harmonies are used in the keyboard and piano. The harmony in Barbershop music like Jazz came from the African American Black gospel church community which use close four part harmony without accompaniment.  This particular style of music without accompaniment is known as A capella.
