The tango is a form of art that includes music and dance was born in Buenos Aires around the second half of the 800. Tango uses a tool for his performances, perhaps invented, or perhaps popularized by the German composer Heinrich Band, the bandoneon, a kind of accordion of wood with holes to be opened or closed with your fingertips produces the notes, and that has the feature to change the note, depending on whether the bellows is compressed or expanded instead. Despite being a very syncopated music, does not use percussion instruments and also other instruments are played in a special way to give hints of strong rhythmic beat and signatures. Its harmonic structure, however, is typically Italian. Half the weight of cultural tango is originally from Italy. The names of the greatest composers of music, from the early twentieth century until the age of gold, the '30s and '40s, AnĂ­bal Troilo, Juan D'Arienzo, Carlos Di Sarli, Osvaldo Pugliese, Francisco De Caro are all sons of Italians. Even Astor Piazzolla, the composer who changed the course of the tango, taking it around the world, has Italian roots (for the accuracy of Trani). Musically, the tango has evolved with jazz and, in recent years, a movement has emerged of young musicians through the contamination they created what is referred to simply as nuevo. On 30 September 2009, UNESCO declared the tango Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

At this meeting, star and black music its facets. If we take account of the black music that we hear today, we would lose a thousand definitions from similar genres or styles, but different. Simplifying : it all started (to skip the blues, true father of all) with soul jazz that developed from hard bop, generally in strong colors added blues, gospel and rhythm and blues. Unlike hard bop, soul jazz emphasized a more repetitive rhythmic pulse, with rates of more stylized melodic solos and less complex than those offered in other styles. The soul jazz developed in the fifties and reached the peak of its popularity in the seventies. Some memorable names: Richard "Groove" Holmes Jack McDuff, Jimmy Smith, Eddie Harris, Stanley Turrentine and Hank Crawford. After the seventies jazz fusion so confusing, pop soul, funk and in other definitions here: smooth jazz or adult contemporary music. The list is endless and the names of the protagonists are straconosciuti. While talking about more or less always the soul of fashion, at some point, begin to lord it, and then, still other definitions. The acid jazz is one of them. He was born in the late eighties in England and re-close the pleasant mix of jazz and soul music to attract young audiences of the time. Remember: the James Taylor Quartet (the jazz-funk), the producer DJ Gilles Peterson (he founded the label in '89 label Talkin 'Loud) launching bands such as Galliano (there are two former Style Council, White and Mick Talbot), the Incognito and the Young Disciples, the producer DJ Eddie Piller (Acid Jazz Records founded) and throws in track and Jamiroquai Brand New Heavies.

If you think only a few Beatles songs as compositions of extraordinary, one finds that, liberated from the original versions that made them famous through the powerful interpretations of Paul, John, George and Ringo, are able to enter in the ideal " song book "available to all those artists who want to welcome you to their personal repertoire. The jazz is no exception and it happened that the overtly pop hits, signed by the Fab Four, have become, to all the title, the actual standards. How Not to mention the monumental versions sung by voices like those of Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Caterina Valente or RayCharles, able to read and develop their potential within the structure of the closed-form song. On the orchestral "full swing" the first name of all is the legendary Count Basie and in '66 he recorded with his big band "Beatles Bag". In no particular order are: John Abercrombie, Ralph Towner, Toots Thielemans, David Fiuczynski, Cassandra Wilson, Dianne Revees, Greg Osby, Spyro Gyra, Arturo Sandoval. And yet, it is impossible to name them all, Lionel Hampton, Buddy Rich, Oscar Peterson. Then there is the dense band of harboppers including: the saxophonists Stanley Turrentine, James Moody, trumpeter Lee Morgan, flutist Herbie Mann and the wonderful guitarist Wes Montgomery. But it is the modern pianists to play the part of the lion by McCoy Tyner Chick Corea, Ramsey Lewis by Brad Mehldau. On the vocalist? Carmen McRae, Carol Sloane, Diana Krall and Bobby McFerrin.

jazz and electronics rely on a set of definitions (electronic jazz, electro-jazz and jazz-, jazztronica, jazz, house, neo-jazz future jaz or) trying to catalog the many expressions of sounds that are all head to the admixture of the freedom of jazz with the child sound technology, computers and emulators sound. Many musicians are always looking for new areas in which their creativity can be expressed in something truly new. After the period in which electronic solutions instead of free creativity, in fact, inhibited, creating stereotypes often always the same (this has happened and still happens in pop and dance), talent and intelligence of the musicians managed to find a way "to play" the cold sound of the computer, merge them with acoustic instruments. After the transition from acoustic to electric jazz occurred in the seventies (Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Ornette Coleman), in the eighties musicians like Bill Laswell and Jan Garbarek have their research to the extreme (in a mix of style, unusual sounds and technology ). Among the nineties and the 2000 explosion of the admixture of solutions produced by the computer and jazz (St Germain, DJ Takemura, Perry Hemus, Jazzanova) enters strongly into the charts. The movement is growing and includes not only musicians but also producers, DJs, video makers, visual artists, creating beautiful and multi-media performance. Some names: the producers (often the real team) Squarepusher, Spring Heel Jack, London Elektricity, Landslide, techno musicians such as Laurent Garnier and Carl Craig, the musicians of the traditional jazz scene with the desire to experience such as pianist Bugge Wesseltoft and trumpeter Nils Petter Molvaer. And how can we forget The Cinematic Orchestra, a formation that is perfectly proper synthesis of jazz with electronic sounds.

Jazz Rock (also called Jazz Rock Fusion and later, more simply, only Fusion) is a perfect example of contamination at 360 ° sound emerged in the late Sixties and early Seventies. A multitude of musicians from at least three extractions music different, driven by three needs creative / expressive, too, different, and have created an innovative sound universe, full of wonderful insights and talents. In Jazz Rock have been fed, many young jazz musicians who wanted to take the lessons of past masters and clothe, electrified, with the "colors" (styles, technologies and liturgies) of the time, many rock performers who wanted to overcome the boundaries of simplicity (not only harmonic) of all genres, and finally, urban funk, nascent, energetic soundtrack of the new African-American culture.

to indicating only by way of pure simplicity, the first recordings revealed that the contamination of the new world Jazz, the two names that would put almost all agree are: Frank Zappa and Miles Davis, with the album "Hot Rats" ('69) for the first, "In a Silent Way "('69) and" Bitches Brew "('70) for the second. But the Jazz Rock and much more: the group Weather Report with Wayne Shorter, Jaco Pastorius and Joe Zawinul, the album "Spectrum" of the powerful drummer Billy Cobham, the unpredictable French violinist Jean Luc Ponty, the British Soft Machine, the Casiopea Japanese, Americans Return to Forever Chick Care, the exotic Mahavishnu Orchestra of John McLaughlin.
