Cultural Propropriation: The Act Of Appropriation In Music

Imagine an array of musicians (a saxophonist, trumpeter, bassist and drummer) passionately playing a symphony of music—with an apoplectic intensity and at a bone-rattling volume. This is jazz. Jazz has an identifiable history and distinct stylistic evolution. Jazz grew up alongside the blues and popular music, but what changed the way of music in America was still jazz. From the 1920 's through the late 1950 's jazz was formed from the heart and soul of African American.

In fact, Lady Gaga had stated herself “It is an exploration of electronic music and techno songs but I have created a genre of metal / dance / techno / rock / pop music with a lot of anthem choruses, because that is actually the music I love.” (Sciarretto). It is evident that Lady Gaga’s taste in music has inspired her to create a fresh approach to producing music and the result is noteworthy. There are several songs that have been written to illustrate the hardships Americans faced through a specific decade that become anthems to the American

It wasn’t until the mid-50s that the R&B style began contributing to the musical style of rock and roll and it then that the term “R&B” began being used. The term R&B referred to musical styles that incorporated electric blues, soul music, and something that many Americans look forward to, gospel. Many big artists began taking over the R&B era in the 60s such as the Rolling Stones, The animals, and The who, were all promoted to be big time British bands. In the year 1970, the name rhythm and blues changed again and was being used for the term soul and funk. With soul and funk came contemporary R&B in the 80s, which combined pop, soul, funk, hip-hop, and dance.

from the board to give it the sound that is so popular. Many styles of music are popular, but the pop style of music is sort of a blended version of the techno dance music that was popular in the 1980s and other styles like, rock, rap, hip hop, r&b, etc. There have been many producers that have paved the way for the style of music we have today including Giorgio Moroder, Dr. Dre, Quincy Jones, and Max Martin. All brought different genres of music to the pop charts and influenced the next style of music that came

Rock started in the mid 1950’s. Rock & Roll is essentially hybrid in origin, which includes elements of several black and white American music styles: black guitar-accompanied blues; black rhythm and blues, noted for saxophone solos; black and white gospel music ; white country and western music ; and the songs of white popular crooners and harmony groups. In 1954–55, rock music was initially referred to as "rock 'n ' roll." After 1964 it was simply called "rock music"rock music was no longer just for dancing. Elvis Presley and groups like Motown and The Beatles really influenced Rock & Roll.

While an artist may be labeled or deemed a certain type of jazz, they may lack certain traits pertaining to this genre and possess qualities of another, or vice versa. Artists like Miles Davis showed this, over his years he expanded and help create new genres of jazz such as hard-bop, modal jazz and avant-garde. What Davis showed was the ever adapting art that is jazz, and how influences can be drawn from anywhere and anytime. I experienced

His movies are the mixture of genres. The way in which he borrows from movies of Goddard to old Westerns and uses those influences in his movies by appropriating them creates something entirely new in terms of content and style. However, when counting on the influence of Hip-Hop on Tarantino 's films, it would not be appropriate only to count this

I do not know much about the intricacies of music, such as what a chord extension is or why moving from a focus on quarter notes to eighths is significant. But even to me, some of the innovations of bebop are noticeable. There is much more emphasis on individual creativeness and solo technique, which is different from the highly structured sets that characterized swing bands. Beboppers were often creative interpreters of existing jazz standards. For instance, in some of Charlie Parker’s work, he would keep a song’s harmonic structure but replace its melody with an inventive and technically dazzling improvisation, essentially creating a new song.

That is why, Melissa Click, in her essay titled "Making Monsters: Lady Gaga, Fan Identification, and Social Media," examines the pop star’s reciprocal connection to her devoted fans. By the usage of her social media platform, Gaga created an outlet where she can interact and support her fans in taking ownership of who they are. As she says, “I want women -- and men -- to feel empowered by a deeper and more psychotic part of themselves. The part they 're always trying desperately to hide. I want that to become something that they cherish” (qtd.

What is Jazz? Jazz originated in the U.S it 's a type of music that has rhythms, polyphonic ensemble playing, varying degrees of improvisations, and often deliberate of a pitch. Jazz started in the black African American slums of New Orleans at the end of 19th century. Different Types of music such as bebop and swing bands were very popular in the era of 1930’s -1940’s and consisted of many different players such as Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong which were part of Swing Bands, Charlie Parker was a bebop musician , another one of the most famous bebop players is Dizzy Gillespie. Many people believe jazz is the creation of Hip-Hop, Pop, R&B of today 's era and also made fashion become popular.

While the songs of Hamilton are mostly rooted in rap and hip hop and Les Miserables is entirely classical, Schönberg’s and Miranda’s compositions bear many resemblances. Les Miserables’s “Drink With Me” directly parallels to Hamilton’s “Story of Tonight.” Both carry themes of brotherhood and comradery in the face of impending war. Even Hamilton’s villain song mirrors that of Les Miserables; so much so that Leslie Odom Jr., who in

Jazz also consists of syncopation. This is when two rhythms are played against each other and that’s how jazz gets its swing and like Duke Ellington says in his song "It don 't mean a thing if it ain 't got that swing." Also in jazz blue notes take place when a musician plays through a scale and exaggerates some of the notes. While I’ve been listening to both albums it seems that her first one is more jazz while her second has more guitar in it. I personally believe this could be because Amy wanted to experiment with other styles such as soul, pop and reggae.

Blood, Sweat, & Tears Blood, Sweat & Tears were an American group who were known for playing contemporary jazz-rock from the late 60s to the early 70s. They recorded songs which were written by well known rock and folk songwriters such as James Taylor and Billie Holiday. They came together in 1967 in New York City and made a mix of music which included rock, blues, pop, horn arrangements, and improvised jazz. The original members of the group were Al Kooper, Jim Fielder, Fred Lipsius, Randy Brecker, Jerry Weiss, Dick Halligan, Steve Katz, and Bobby Colomby. Kooper was the one who named the band Blood, Sweat, & Tears after a 1963 album recorded by Johnny Cash under the same name.
