The development of jazz can be seen as part of the larger continuum of American popular music, especially dance music. In the twenties, jazz became the hottest new thing in dance music, much as ragtime had at the mm of the century, and as rhythm and blues in the forties, rock in the fifties, and disco in the seventies.
But two characteristics distinguish jazz from other dance music. The first is improvisation, the changing of a musical phrase according to the player’s inspiration. Like all artists, jazz musicians strive for an individual style, and the improvised or paraphrased solo is a jazz musician’s main opportunity to display his or her individuality. In early jazz, musicians often improvised melodies collectively, thus creating a kind of polyphony. There was little soloing as such, although some New Orleans players, particularly comet player Buddy Bolden, achieved local fame for their ability to improvise a solo. Later the idea of the chores-long or multi-chorus solo took hold. Louis Armstrong’s instrumental brilliance, demonstrated through extended solos, was a major influence in this development.
Even in the early twenties, however, some jazz bands had featured soloists. Similarly, show orchestras and carnival bands often included one or two such "get-off" musicians. Unimprovised, completely structured jazz does exist, but the ability of the best jazz musicians to create music of great cohesion and beauty during a performance has been a hallmark of the music and its major source of inspiration and change.
The second distinguishing characteristic of jazz is a rhythmic drive that was initially called "hot" and later "swing". In playing hot, a musician consciously departs from strict meter to create a relaxed sense of phrasing that also emphasizes the underlying rhythms. ("Rough" tone and use of moderate vibrato also contributes to a hot sound.) Not all jazz is hot, however, many early bands played unadorned published arrangements of popular songs. Still, the proclivity (倾向) to play hot distinguished the jazz musician from other instrumentalists. [br] Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
选项
A、Jazz musicians emphasize the rhythm during all the musical phrases.
B、Jazz musicians strive for an individual style of which the other musicians don’t think much.
C、Jazz is the most popular music in America in the twenties.
D、As multi-chorus solos became popular, more ways of playing jazz turned up.
答案
B
解析
排除题 选项B指爵士音乐家追求个人风格而其他音乐家却不重视这一点。文中提到正如其他艺术家一样,爵士音乐家也追求个人风格,这也就暗示了其他音乐家也是追求个人风格的,所以选项B陈述的不是事实。
