What is the difference between jazz music and modern jazz music?

What's the difference between jazz and music before the 1920s?

  • Difference in instruments, style, culture, etc.

  • Answer:

    The big difference is swing. I would call the two periods B.L.A. and A.L.A (Before & After Louis Armstrong). When he came along, music changed from being about playing what was on the page to being something creative and spontaneous. He basically "invented" the way jazz musicians play notes in a swing pattern. And if you don't know what that means, then I'll let Louis himself answer you.. "If you have to ask, you'll never know"
