April 30 the “World Jazz Day”

Jazz is a tool for developing intercultural exchanges.

 Boraq Hamim Art news Website– For the first time in 2012, UNESCO announced April 30 as “World Jazz Day” to commemorate the most important cultural and cultural roots of the discipline.

Jazz is a style of music composed by black Americans in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. With the spread of “jazz” around the world, this music influences the musical cultures of different nations, regions and places, as well as enhances many other characteristic styles.

“Jazz” has become a subculture. Artists in this field have customs and traditions that are perhaps less seen than popular music such as pop, rock, classic etc.  In “Jazz Culture”, human qualities such as acceptance, mutual respect, team spirit and non-bias on personal opinions are very prominent. Features that go beyond music or cultural geography and of course it is tangible and respectable to people all over the world.

The question of the originality of the word “jazz” has been resolved by observable research and its history is well documented. According to Jasmine, body (English: jasm) means “spirit, energy” which was used in 1860. The word was first recorded in 1912 in an article in which a baseball player described a jazz ball: “Because it stumbles and you can not easily do anything with it.”

Miles Davis
According to opinion polls conducted by BBC Radio and Jazz FM, trumpeter Miles Davis has been named the greatest artist in the history of jazz music.

Davis’s name is on the list of 10 titles, above musicians like Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington.

This American artist has the best-selling and most popular jazz albums. Launched in 1959, The Blue King is one of Davis’ most memorable works.

American trumpeter and singer Lewis Armstrong came in second, followed by Duke Ellington, a renowned orchestral musician and pianist, as one of the greatest jazz artists. John Coulterin, Ella Fitzgerald and Charlie Parker also ranked fourth to sixth. The list includes well-known musicians such as Billy Halliday, Theolonius Monk, Bill Evans and Oscar Patterson.

According to the BBC, saxophonist Dave Liebman called David’s 1970s “Martin Scorsese” and “Francis Ford Coppola” the world of jazz.

Miles Davis died in 1991. “Miles Pioneer” is the name of a film that was made monthly and was first screened at the New York Film Festival. Don Cheadle plays Davis in this play.

The goal of World Jazz Day is to bring different communities and ethnicities closer together, to coexist with mutual respect and to build constructive discourse despite accepting differences.
