Many of us have a love hate relationship with Rock music. I never actually realised that some of the songs I listen to from the 60s and 70s were in fact classified as Rock. I have now come to the understanding that there is a huge array of Rock genres, 81 different types to be precise.
Something most people may not realise is that the exact period when rock music first started is not known. There were rock and roll elements in country western songs as far back as the 20s and 30s. But it was in full swing by the time the 1950's came around. (RockMusic.mu 2007)
According to the All Music Guide, "In its purest form, Rock & Roll has three chords, a strong, insistent back beat, and a catchy melody. Early rock & roll drew from a variety of sources, primarily blues, R&B, and country, but also gospel, traditional pop, jazz and folk. All of these influences combined in a simple, blues-based song structure that was fast, danceable, and catchy."
ELVIS PRESLEY
Short Biography of Elvis PresleyBorn in Tupelo, Mississippi, on January 8 1935 Elvis Aaron Presley was the only child of Vernon and Gladys. Known to many as the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley was an international sensation. He began his singing career with Sun Records in Memphis. At age 20 he had a "sound and style that uniquely combined his diverse musical influences and blurred and challenged the social and racial barriers of the time". (Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc. 2013)
He was the star of 33 successful films, was frequent on television shows, he had many record-breaking live concert tours. He has sold over one billion records worldwide, which is more than any other artist in history. He was fortunate enough to receive many awards and accolades including 14 Grammy nominations.
At age 42 Elvis Presley passed away at his home in Memphis. He left behind a legacy and a record that many artists aspire to achieve. He is often regarded as being one of the most important figures of twentieth century pop culture. (Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc. 2013)
RED HOT CHILLI PEPPERS
Short Biography of Red Hot Chilli PeppersCommonly classified as a funk rock band the Red Hot Chili Peppers formed in Los Angeles, California in 1983. They have been one of the most influential rock groups throughout the years and are still pushing the music boundaries. The band has seen different members come and go throughout their illustrious 30 year career in which they have sold over 80 million records worldwide, and have won seven Grammy Awards.
'Tony Flow and the Miraculously Majestic Masters of Mayhem' was the original band name that was used when they initially formed for a one-off support act for a friend's band. They renamed themselves Red Hot Chili Peppers and played at a handful of clubs in Los Angeles in 1983 before being signed to EMI Records. (Last.fm Ltd, 2013)
The band has seen over 14 members in it's long career. There have however been two members of the band who have stuck it out. They are the bands founder Anthony Kiedis and his long time friend Flea. It wasn't until the early 90's that the band reached international success and broke into the mainstream music industry.

Jazz
“What a Wonderful World” – Louis Armstrong
Then and now
Born from Blues, Folk, March and Ragtime, Jazz music rose from New Orleans in the early 1900’s and has continued to evolve ever since. Originating when American and English classical music integrated with African songs from those forced into slavery. It is impossible to pinpoint a specific definition of the music itself because it is full of many flavours.
How do we define Jazz – or do we?
jazz (jz)n.1. Music. a. A style of music, native to America, characterized by a strong but flexible rhythmic understructure with solo and ensemble improvisations on basic tunes and chord patterns and, more recently, a highly sophisticated harmonic idiom. b. Big band dance music.
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/jazz
It is believed that Jazz was created from African-American musicians taking their cultural music and sound and incorporating it with an English-ness. From back in the cotton-field days down in South America, when the workers would sing out loud their Mamas’ songs, came the blues which with the English interaction came Jazz. Back then was a time “that cultivated vigorous rhythms that made your body move and deeply felt melody that made your heart pour out.” One significant difference between Jazz and other genres is the predominance of ‘swing’ – the rhythmic groove that the musicians create when they play. The way in which the notes are played and the musicians interact their instruments with each other results in what is known as syncopation and in turn results in a “visceral response”. In other words, ‘swing’ is music that inspires us to dance. The syncopated rhythm became ragtime, then Dixieland, Big Band and finally evolved into what we would call modern jazz.
But there is no one simple form of this genre as it connects to so many varying styles. With modernisation and the influence of cultures worldwide, Jazz has changed drastically to Latin, rhythm, be-bop, fusion, acid-jazz, funk and many more.
There are so many notable musicians who have paved the way in Jazz. Without a doubt it would be too hard to pin any one down, however I have given examples here of those I believe are worthy of the Jazz crown.
It helps to appreciate that the music is performed either by voice; piano; bass/double bass; brass instrument/s; drums and percussion – using the voice or instruments independently, in harmony or as a band. Often the piano chords sound off-beat tied with an underlying melody connecting it together. In addition there will often be a distinctive walking bass line holding it’s own underneath.
Louis “Pops” “Satchmo” Armstrong (1901-1971) is one of the most influential musicians of all time and predominantly in the Jazz scene. From New Orleans, he instigated solo trumpet playing and sang with a distinctive gravelly voice, inspiring many other famous musicians.
Thelonious Monk (1917-1982) was a master of this music with “complex and dissonant harmonies”. He was unique in his appearance and favoured dark glasses, hats and suits naming him “hip”. Had a great influence on Miles Davis.
Dizzy Gillespie (1917-1993) influenced Miles Davis with his trumpet playing and having spent time in Cuba, brought that influence to his music.
Miles Davis (1926-1991): Like Louis Armstrong, Davis began at a young age playing the cornet and then the trumpet. Moving to New York in 1944 he had opportunities to grow and learn playing with Charlie Parker, John Coltrane and under the influence of Gil Evans. From ‘cool jazz’ to ‘hard bop’, Davis then made his best album “Kind of Blue” which is one of the best selling albums of all time.
