Contents
2020 is shaping up to be a big year for jazz music. Here’s what you can expect in the coming months.
The current state of jazz
Jazz music is currently in a state of flux. While the genre has always been experimental, innovating and ever-changing, the past decade has seen a huge influx of new talent that has pushed the boundaries of what jazz can be. This has led to a split in the scene, with some purists sticking to the traditional sound and others exploring new directions.
Where is jazz popular?
Jazz is popular all around the world. In fact, it is one of the most popular genres of music. However, there are some places where jazz is more popular than others. For example, jazz is very popular in the United States, France, and Japan.
In the United States, jazz originated in the city of New Orleans. Since then, it has spread to other parts of the country, such as Chicago and New York City. Today, there are many different types of jazz music, such as bebop and swing. Jazz is also popular in other parts of the world, such as Europe and Asia.
France has a long history of jazz music. In fact, some of the first jazz recordings were made in France. Jazz was introduced to France in the early 1900s by American soldiers who were stationed there during World War I. After the war, many French musicians began to play jazz music. Today, there are many different types of French jazz, such as gypsy jazz and cool jazz.
Japan is another country where jazz is very popular. Jazz was introduced to Japan in the early 1900s by American soldiers who were stationed there during World War II. After the war, many Japanese musicians began to play jazz music. Today, there are many different types of Japanese jazz, such as fusion and acid jazz.
Who are the most popular jazz musicians?
In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in jazz music, and many young people are getting involved in the genre. While some of the most popular jazz musicians are still legends from the past, such as Miles Davis and John Coltrane, there are also many contemporary artists who are making a name for themselves. Here are some of the most popular jazz musicians today:
-Trombone Shorty
-Wynton Marsalis
-Dafnis Prieto
-Chick Corea
-Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah
The future of jazz
2020 is already shaping up to be an exciting year for jazz music. We’re seeing a resurgence in popularity for the genre, with a new generation of musicians bringing their own fresh perspectives. Here’s a look at what to expect from jazz music in 2020.
Where is jazz headed?
Jazz music has changed a lot since it first appeared on the scene over a hundred years ago. But what does the future hold for this ever-evolving genre?
In 2020, we can expect to see more jazz musicians experimenting with different styles and incorporating elements of other genres into their music. We may also see a return to some of the older, classic styles of jazz.
One trend that is already starting to emerge is the use of electronics in jazz. This could mean anything from using synthesizers to create new sounds, to using computers to generate new rhythms and melodies. Some jazz purists may not be too happy about this trend, but it is certainly something to watch out for in the coming year.
Another trend that is likely to continue in 2020 is the popularity of collaborative projects between jazz musicians and other artists from different genres. This could involve anything from a jazz musician teaming up with a rapper or singer on a new track, to two or more jazz groups coming together to perform a piece of music.
Whatever happens, one thing is for sure: Jazz will continue to evolve in 2020 and beyond.
Who will be the next big jazz star?
In 2020, we can expect to see a continued rise in popularity for jazz music. This classic American genre has been reinventing itself for decades, and today’s jazz artists are keeping the tradition alive while adding their own unique spin. So who will be the next big name in jazz? Here are four artists to watch out for in 2020.
One artist to keep an eye on is pianist Matt Mitchell. Mitchell is a member of the Grammy-winning band Snarky Puppy, and his solo work has been praised by critics. In 2020, he is scheduled to release a new album, “A Pianist’s Handbook,” which is sure to garner attention from jazz fans and critics alike.
Another artist making waves in the jazz world is saxophonist Melissa Aldana. Aldana burst onto the scene in 2013 with her debut album “Melissa Aldana & Crash Trio,” and she has since won multiple awards, including the prestigious Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition. In 2020, she is slated to release a new album called “Visions,” which is sure to cement her place as one of today’s most exciting jazz talents.
For fans of more traditional jazz, pianist Hiromi should be on your radar. Hiromi has been performing since the early 2000s, and her style blends elements of classical, jazz, and rock music. She has won multiple awards, including a Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Album, and she shows no signs of slowing down in 2020. Her latest album, “Spectrum,” is set for release in February 2020, and it promises to be an exciting new addition to her already impressive catalog.
Finally, bassist Esperanza Spalding should be on your radar in 2020. Spalding rose to fame with her 2010 album “Chamber Music Society,” and she has since won four Grammy Awards (including Best New Artist). In 2020, she is scheduled to release a new album called “12 Little Spells,” which will likely continue to cement her place as one of today’s most innovative musicians.
