What's the difference between blues and jazz?
Thanks for the recommendations. Can you tell me more about the history of blues and jazz and how they evolved over time?
Sure, the blues emerged in the late 19th century as a way for African Americans to express their struggles and hardships in a racist society. It often included call-and-response vocals and highly emotional guitar playing. Jazz emerged in the early 20th century as a blend of African rhythms with European harmonies, and quickly became a popular form of dance music. Over time, both genres have continued to evolve and diversify, incorporating new influences and styles.
