Supplemental context
Jazz developed in African-American communities and draws on multiple musical traditions. Improvisation is central to many forms, but jazz is not one unchanging style. The linked overview distinguishes many subsequent scenes and approaches. An archive should preserve listening and collaboration as well as named compositions and individual careers.
Creator/community: African-American musical communities; generations of jazz musicians worldwide Place/era: New Orleans and other connected scenes; late nineteenth century onward
Context and limits
The original 1910s label is not a complete origin history. A trumpet, piano and bass are an illustrative grouping, not a definition excluding other instruments, voices or electronic practices.
