David Baker, composer, jazz educator, and director of the Smithsonian Jazz Orchestra He displays the individual voices of his musicians in a way that illuminates his own personality, but also allows the varied personalities of the gifted individuals to shine through. But thankfully, some musicians such as Bill Banfield, still revel in the joy and excitement of spontaneity. Bill is an exciting composer who is extending a musical tradition pioneered by James Reese Europe, Will Marion Cook, William Grant Still, and Duke Ellington. host/director Jazz at the Kennedy Center William Cedric Banfield belongs to a vanguard of eclectic, young composers whose backgrounds, training, and creative output traverse traditional categories.

102. The Red Hot Jazz Archive A history of jazz before 1930. This site contains over 2000 songs from this where the composer wrote a piece of music on paper and the musicians then http://www.redhotjazz.com/

Buddy Bolden is generally considered to be the first real Jazz musician. Other early players included Freddie Keppard Bunk Johnson , and Clarence Williams . Although these musicians names are unknown to most people, then and now, their ideas are still being elaborated on to this day. Most of these men could not make a living with their music and were forced to work menial jobs to get by. The second wave of New Orleans Jazz musicians like Joe "King" Oliver Kid Ory , and Jelly Roll Morton fromed small bands, that took the music of these older men and increased the complexity and dynamic of their music, as well as gaining greater commercial success. This music became know as "Hot Jazz", because of the often break neck speeds and amazing improvised polyphony that these bands produced. A young virtuoso cornet player named Louis Armstrong was discovered in New Orleans by King Oliver . Armstrong soon grew to become the greatest Jazz musician of his era and eventually one of the biggest stars in the world. The impact of Armstrong and other Jazz musicians altered the course of both popular and Classical music. African American musical styles became the dominant force in 20th century music. The Red Hot Archive is a place to study and enjoy the music of these early "Jazzmen". Due to recent advances in technology it is now possible to broadcast text, music, and pictures around the world via the Internet. This site is an experiment in using this new multimedia technology. We hope it will combine the best of books and audio recordings, into valuable and enjoyable tool for appreciating this music and the men and women who produced it. This site is a work in progress and will continue to grow as more recordings and writings are added to the archive. Submissions, suggestions, and corrections are welcome.
