| The
music |
| The
years between the first and second world wars were known as the
"jazz age" when popular music was transformed by great musicians
such as Louis Armstrong and, later on, Duke Ellington. |
 |
|
They were
also an age of great songwriting, with George Gershwin and Irving
Berlin in the 20s being followed by Cole Porter, Jerome Kern,
Richard Rodgers, Hoagy Carmichael and many others.
Songs from this period include Summertime, Night and Day,It
had to be you, Stormy Weather, Blue Moon, Misty and Georgia on
my Mind, all well known as guitar solos as well as in big
band and other arrangements.
|
|
Some famous
singers of these hits are Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald and
Sarah Vaughan. Great guitarists who have interpreted them include
Django Reinhardt, Joe Pass and Charlie Byrd.
In the 1950s and later, jazz became more open to influences and
"fusion" with other kinds of music, including Latin American styles
such as bossa nova and samba.
