Discussion

Of the styles studied in the chapter “Jazz 1930-1960”, which do you prefer and why? Which styles are likely to have the most influence on future musicians?

I love all the sub-genres of jazz from 1930-1960, but I think the biggest lasting influence in jazz today came from Bebop. To me, bebop started to make jazz more of an intellectual art form as opposed to just being music that you can tap your foot to. Before the 40s, jazz was dominated by the swing era. Big band swing was essentially the pop music of the day, designed for dancing and keeping things light. Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie showed up and essentially told the audience to sit down and listen, because they weren’t going to be able to dance to this anyway.

Bird and Dizzy completely flipped the script on what a jazz performance could be. Instead of the huge, polished big bands and their predictable arrangements, bebop stripped everything down to small, lean combos. This change wasn’t just about saving space, it was about the intellectual flexing and heavy improvisation. Charlie Parker brought a new fluidity to the saxophone, using wild altissimo notes that made traditional melodies feel basic.

To me, bebop is to jazz as progressive rock is to rock and roll. It pushed the genre into an entirely different direction and gave birth to further sub-genres like hardbop, cool jazz, or modal jazz. Bebop reset the trajectory of jazz, and paved a separate path for a less gentrified, less commercial, and more progressive version of the music. It also shifted the conversation as to what jazz could be. Without bebop, we would have only had big band swing, and I think jazz would have fizzled out as the trends shifted to rock and roll. Bebop created a rebirth of jazz and gave us what modern jazz is today.

Which do you think will be the strongest trend in the future: Latin pop influenced by music from the US, or “Latin-tinged” US popular music? Why?

Latin music is music that derives from any Spanish and Portuguese speaking nations. Latin American music has become significantly popular in the United States. Latin music has also influenced pop and concert music for over a century. It’s become so popular in the United States that it is now a part of mainstream American music. I believe that Latin-tinged United States popular music will be a stronger trend in the future as it already has become big. I already have seen many artists incorporate different Latin rhythms into American pop or R&B music. Popular artist Kali Uchis incorporated many different Latin rhythms into her music. She speaks both Spanish and English in her music. Throughout her album Orqudeas, released in 2024, she blended many different rhythms, including reggaeton, bolero, salsa, and dembow. Artist Bad Bunny is another great example of how popular Latin music has become in the United States. He is performing at this year’s Super Bowl, further proving that Latin music has become significantly popular throughout the United States. Not even just the United States but all over the world. Bad Bunny sings mostly in Spanish in his songs, whether it be rapping or singing. While he is mostly known for Latin rap and reggaeton, he also has incorporated Latin pop, hip hop, bachata, salsa, rock, etc into his music. These artists, along with many others, have influenced American popular music. I still believe that Latin influence on US music will have a greater influence in the future.

The composer and singer Adam Guettel has said, “Melody is memorable.” Compare the opening phrases of “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’” from Oklahoma! and “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Both songs are celebratory, both are in triple meter, and both feature wide leaps in the melodic line. Which melody do you find more memorable? Why?

I may be incredibly biased by this opinion, but I feel as if “The Star-Spangled Banner” is more memorable because before today, I do not remember hearing “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’” at all. It gives me no sense of familiarity at all and for that I will have to say that “The Star-Spangled Banner” is the most memorable to me. From the minute I started school, there was a heavy focus on “The Star-Spangled Banner” because it is the national anthem of the U.S., but hearing it everywhere, its obvious that it will become extremely recognizable to many who have heard it since childhood. When it comes to “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’”, I have not heard of it at all. I do not think I know anyone who does recognize it let alone, have heard it, so in this instance I am quite biased.

Even as I listen to “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’”, I still feel as if “The Star-Spangled Banner”is more memorable. Entering any sport event, “The Star-Spangled Banner”, this song has been heard at some point by most of the country and it is one of the most recognizable songs. The amount of times one hears that song, it is only normal for it to become extremely memorable whether it’s in a recognition-type-of-way or a meaningful way. Although I do see something a little memorable about “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’”, I still find “The Star-Spangled Banner” more memorable than the other song because I have simply heard it more growing up.
