Jazz is a music genre that originated at the beginning of the 20th century in African American communities in the Southern United States from a confluence of African and European music traditions. From its early development until the present, jazz has incorporated music from 19th and 20th century American popular music. Its West African pedigree is evident in its use of blue notes, improvisation, polyrhythms, syncopation, and the swung note.

The word “Jazz” (in early years also spelled “Jass”) began as a West Coast slang term and was first used to refer to music in Chicago in about 1915.

This pub play “Top 40” hits fill the room and a Filipino acoustic musician belts out standards by ’70s soft-rockers James Taylor and Bread. Some Saturday nights see the occasional band performance where local blues musicians gather and play surprisingly decent ’50s and ’60s American blues, but the infrequency of the blues nights makes you wonder if they even get paid for getting on stage to play.
