What is the origin of "early jazz"?

  • Answer:

    Some people say that jazz was created because some people wanted a different flavor of music and just started making it up. Jazz developed in the latter part of the 19th cent. from black work songs, field shouts, sorrow songs, hymns, and spirituals whose harmonic, rhythmic, and melodic elements were predominantly African.
