My ethnography research will be based off jazz music by Wynton Marsalis. He'll be performing with at the DSO for this weekend. Jazz music began in the southern parts of the US. The term jazz is a west coast slang with musical qualities that include: swing, improvisation, and group interaction. Jazz can go back to the time of the roaring 20s during prohibition and it was ridiculed for being an irritation of the word music. Not many people liked it to the point that even the media defamed it.
Wynton Marsalis is a jazz musician that uses a trumpet. He is also a composer and has many jazz recordings that have earned him a grammy award. While his style of music is subject to controversy because its considered regressive, nobody can really deny that he is a wonderful performer.
