Changes for Django, composed by John Lewis. This was a musical elegy for the great jazz guitarist Django Rheinhardt. It was a signature piece for the Modern Jazz Quartet, for which Lewis was the musical director and pianist. MJQ did many great recordings of the tune. Tete Montoliu does an awesome version of Django on his recording "Songs for Love".Jazz

(1850 - 1900) This time before the conscious recognition of jazz as an individual music is perhaps its most important. It was then that the musical and cultural influences merged to create the uniqueness and diversity of jazz. However, because records were not kept and recordings were not available, much of the history of prejazz goes unknown. We can look back and try to recreate it by looking at the writings of the day and by projecting backwards from what we know now of jazz. |
