What message transmit the jazz music?

Question

I'm not american, but i think jazz is one symbol of the american culture. Why?

thanks! :)

Answer 1

I guess because it first thrived here. Black Americans basically started jazz from what I know of. It's culture can be found across the states from Monterey, Cali to New Orleans, Louisiana. Though we don't really know when it started, it branches off from rock, pop, and R&B too.

Answer 2

Because it IS american.......

And it was a big part in the devlopment of modern american music, and just music in general.

As far as the symbol of american culture goes, it was kind of a musical revolution that carried a care free attitude and, I believe, it was a bulding block for black/white integration.
