Jazz Music

Jazz Music is a music genre whose creation comes from the African-American

communities and the performance mostly in bands, but in this case, Armstrong is performing as a

solo artist in a band. The music as performed by Louis Armstrong comprises swing and blue

notes employed that creates musicality to the words that Armstrong performs. It included

complex chords achieved from the guitars used in the music performance and piano. While

Armstrong soloes the music, there are call and response vocals from the band members to make

the music lively and involving the audience. However, Louis Armstrong's performance is

different from the band jazz presented as orchestra while playing in a group. Armstrong pursues

polyrhythms and improvisation, which permanently changes the art's performance by making

solo singing the focal point of the music's conveyance. The actions include the use of trumpets

and cornets that accompany the art.

Louis Armstrong's music is a motivation for his talent in scat singing. The music

comprises improvising vocals to produce sounds that could generate a musical instrument. The

improvised sounds include wordless vocables or no words blended with the instrumentals to

form a musical art performed as solo Jazz Music. The syllables forming the music do not make

sense, and the meaningless words are for the creation of melodies and rhythm using the voice as

Louis Armstrong showcases the mastery of the work. Armstrong uses voice as the primary

instrument and the real instruments as accompaniment instead of performed as a peaking

medium. The music shows how the art performance perception is within people since most

artists cannot do scat singing similar to Armstrong. The performance shows a mature voice

utilization to maintain the music tempo and provide an appealing artistry work that attracts

people to Jazz Music.
