[quote=Skeptical;5261201] How about how jazz music influenced and was the basis for rock and roll?    What about all of the whites who came down to the speak easies to rebel away from their parents.      BLues and Jazz turned to Rythym and Blues, which turned into rock. You guys seriously need to take some classes on the history of Rock and Roll, It'l increase your knowledge on rock music exponentially.[/q uote]     From another thread on music on here....... https://www.stormfront.org/forum/show...58#post5347658    Oh by the way, on the issue of  JAZZ  being of White origin.....    The very first Jazz group was Emile Stalebread Lacoume and his Razzy Dazzy Spasm Band, back in New Orleans in the 1890's(all White).     The original jazz band, according to Herbert Asbury's  The Latin Quarter  (1938), was the 'Spasm Band' made up of seven boys, aged twelve to fifteen, who first appeared in New Orleans about 1895. They advertised themselves as the Razzy Dazzy Spasm Band.    If Herbert Asbury says so then you know it's true:cool: He was a journalist and a writer who's most famous work is probably The Gangs of New York. He used to go to the big American cities back in the late 1800s and early 1900s and do alot of research and interviews in the red light districts and write true crime stories. Emile Lacoume and his Razzy Dazzy Spasm Band were the first jazz act I'll believe old Herbert Asbury he knew alot about the late 19th and early 20th century American underworld, and Jazz originated in the red light districts (particularly Storyville) of New Orleans, it was the music of the New Orleans underworld. A couple of other White jazz players/groups who were very influential in the early days of Jazz were Papa Jack Laine, Tom Brown, the Original Dixieland Jazz Band, the New Orleans Rhythm Kings, the Lousiana Five, and the Original New Orleans Jazz Band, among others. Oh and I mustn't forget about Emmett Hardy the White Jazz player who is known to have outplayed Louis Armstrong :D Also, most of the Black Jazz players in the early, formative years of Jazz were usually not really Black. Most of them were mixed race mulattos, often the mulatto bastard children of Black hookers or maids and White fathers.     Jazz developed in New Orleans from French quadrilles, Marching Band music, and Classical influences. The first Jazz was White. And when it comes to Blues, in the beginning there was no distinction at all between Country and Blues, Blues was Country and Country was Blues. Whites played Country and Blacks played Country, Blacks played Blues and Whites played Blues. Country singers had always played Blues songs, but the Blues was just a particular type of Country song not a separate genre. Eventually in the early 1900s promoters started marketing Country/Blues music performed by White musicians to Whites as Hillbilly music, and Country/Blues performed by Blacks was marketed to Blacks as Race music. As times changed the promoters thought the terms hillbilly and race music sounded too offensive, so Hillbilly just became Country and was associated with Whites, and Race music just became Blues and was associated with Blacks.     PS- Rock was the direct descendent of White Country/Hillbilly music more than ANYTHING else. Not R&B. As far as I'm concerned the first Rock song was Hank Williams' Move It On Over from 1947. The first Rock hit single which was responsible for popularizing Rock N' Roll was Bill Haley and The Comet's Rock Around the Clock, which other than the lyrics is practically a Move It On Over rip off, the whole tune is nearly identical.
