Jazz began in the African-American communities of New Orleans in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, drawing on blues, ragtime, European harmony, spirituals, marches and dance music. It is known for swing, blue notes, complex chords and improvisation, and since the Jazz Age of the 1920s it has been one of the major forms of musical expression in both popular and traditional music. ZenPiano's Jazz shelf tells much of that story at the keyboard. It starts with ragtime, which emerged in the 1890s and fed directly into jazz: Scott Joplin's Maple Leaf Rag, Pineapple Rag and The Entertainer are all here. Stride piano came next, developed in 1920s New York with James P. Johnson as one of its leading players, and his Carolina Shout sits beside Jelly Roll Morton's New Orleans Blues. From there the shelf moves through George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue and The Man I Love to Duke Ellington's It Don't Mean a Thing, Thelonious Monk's Blue Monk, Bill Evans and Erroll Garner's Misty, and on to standards such as Autumn Leaves and Fly Me to the Moon. Bossa nova from Antônio Carlos Jobim and newer jazz-flavoured songs by Laufey bring it up to date. Two techniques run through these pieces. In ragtime and stride, the left hand alternates between low bass notes and chords in the middle of the keyboard while the right hand plays a syncopated melody; stride players simply leap further than ragtime players did. In later jazz piano, players build chords with added ninths, elevenths and thirteenths, often leave the root to the bass player, and phrase with a swing feel. Short lessons on jazz chord voicing and harmonic rhythm are on the shelf too, if you want to learn the language before you play it.
