Identifying the Musical Genre

a few quotes from people which explain why jazz is still important to music today -

"Jazz is the key foundation stone from which has derived most pop music of the modern day. Without it, God only knows where we'd be"


"No other genre of music brings that special atmosphere when you listen to it. Good jazz is jazz which moves us physically and mentally. Good jazz comes from jazz players who play well and who feel the music purely from their heart. Most modern pop music is manufactured in a studio by people with no skill or ability. You can always guarantee that good sounding jazz has come from someone with real passion and skill and NOT been manufactured out of a studio."

"most modern music artists now only care about imagetheir e; not the music. With jazz, the music always always always comes first"
