The+difference+between+The+blues+and+Jazz

Blues and Jazz both originate from African American slaves. They parallel each other through many aspects but are both very distinctive. Both have roots in african music and originated in the late 19th century and became popular in the 20th century. Both are thought to have started in the southern states of America; however The blues is accredited to the plantations of the deltas, where as Jazz originated from New Orleans. Early blues featured small bands or solo artists which would largely feature guitars, vocals, pianos, percussion and vocals; in contrast, Jazz features mainly brass with pianos, percussion and some vocals.

Jazz musically is very different to The Blues. Where The Blues features a heavy I-IV-V chord progression with call and response, where as Jazz features mainly instrumental pieces with large amounts of syncopation.

Because of the interracial aspect of Jazz, it spread like wildfire across the states, and later the world; in contrast, the blues had small, select pockets of followers in cities such as Chicago and Houston, which later spawned their own sub-genres.
