Jazz Festival Beach in AnguillaAbout Jazz and Jazz Festival Beach
Jazz, an American art form, an international phenomenon! Jazz is not the result of choosing a tune, but an ideal that is created first in the mind, inspired by one's passion, and willed next in playing music. Jazz music draws from life experience and human emotion as the inspiration of the creative force, and through this discourse is chronicled the story of it's people. Jazz musicians and those that follow the genre closely, can indeed be thought of as an artistic community complete with it's leaders, spokesmen, innovators, aficionados, members & fans.

The history of Jazz music origins
is attributed to the turn of the 20th century New Orleans,
although this unique, artistic medium occurred almost simultaneously
in other North American areas like Saint Louis, Kansas City
and Chicago. Traits carried from West African black folk music
developed in the Americas, joined with European popular and
light classical music of the late 18th and 19th centuries,
became the syncopated rhythms of Ragtime and minor chord voicings
characteristic of the Blues.
