You are now hooked on what the rest of the world calls America's gift to the world and its true indigenous art form. Jazz could have only been bred here due to all the circumstances that at one time was what was a melting pot of culture and sources. All modern music, the way modern solos and microphone vocalism techniques come from King Louie Armstrong. He was really the first to sing and play to the microphone as it were a person or audience. Soon others including Bing Crosby, Billie Holiday and others would follow. All modern recording techniques (multitrack recording) come from the mastery Les Paul and modern synthesizers from jazz man Raymond Scott and eventually through his association with Robert Moog. The first popular electric guitarist that received airplay on popular radio Charlie Christian (in Benny Goodman's Band). America's classical equivalents of Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn. Power horn sections based on the swing bands of Count Basie, Billy Eckstine and Jay McShann (where Charlie Parker got his start). Far too many more to write about. Guitarists such as Chet Atkins (who considered himself a jazz musician and has the Grammy awards to prove it), George Benson, Les Paul, etc. In fact Chet Atkins based much of his sound on Jean "Django" Reinhardt the Belgian jazz guitarist. Atkins combined Jazz and Country music to develop what was called Countrypolitan or the Nashville Sound (according to Atkins). Yes, you are now hooked. Enjoy!
