As the National Museum of African American Music opens its doors, journalists from the USA TODAY Network explore the stories, places and people who helped make music what it is today in our expansive series, Hallowed Sound.
Jazz is a genre of performances, not songs. Created in the moment through improvisation, every time a song is played it is different. These 25 recordings trace this quintessential American art’s century-long history: from the early days in New Orleans, to the swing era, onto the heady period of bebop, the controlled chaos of free jazz, fusion’s blend of jazz with rock and R&B and finally to the stars of today. ....
