I personally prefer ragtime blues on the guitar. Here is not very well known song at all that always gives me melancholy chills. That is the blind Rev Gary Davis in the thumbnail, not Carl Martin.
I like your musical tastes. Thanks for sharing so much of interest in this thread.

Children embody the new consciousness that the world needs, a oneness-family.
These two 4 year-old girls show us the way.....

Well written, and all the hatred is a sad part of history. I hope what is good flourishes and people can respect each other despite their differences. As for jazz, there was so much amazing genius, but sometimes music doesn't click right away and you have to listen again until you suddenly get it and realize...wow.
Unfortunately, while we were discussing jazz war broke out in Ukraine, and @batgirl - being a pacifist - isn't taking the news too well. The Slavic regions of the world have played no small part in the sport of chess, so to all the enthusiasts out there it must be quite the blow.

Then you have a whole 'nother musical genre to explore!
I would be surprised to hear klezmer and bluegrass mentioned together except that we have a fiddler friend who plays klezmer and bluegrass and everything in between.
Actually, some of the early jazz I've been listening to has been great.
I wonder what's between a Klezmer and a Bluegrass?
There were a few Klezmer music festivals at the theater where I worked in Berkeley and I found out a few things about it. It started as good-time party music from the Slavic area of the Ottoman Empire, so there are Turkish, Jewish, Slavic, Greek and Armenian elements. Some Sultan decided to chase the Jews out of his empire and some of them came to America, so it's mostly associated with Jews here. The Hebrew word means something like "whatever tools you have", and the musicians had to mix and match different types of instruments and rhythmic and melodic structures and just wing it, using a few basic structures and lots of scope for improvisation.

In Paris, jazz was a French creation!
Lmao, baguettes and croissants are french, not Jazz. Jazz was born in the US right ?

Actually, croissants are Viennese. After the Ottoman army was pushed back from the Second Siege of Vienna in 1683, the populace celebrated by (among other things) making and eating rolls in the shape of a crescent--a Muslim symbol. When Princess Maria Antonia of Austria arrived in Paris in 1770 to marry the Dauphin everything Viennese became wildly popular and croissants have been a French staple ever since.
Incidentally, the Ottomans left wagons full of coffee (originally from Arabia) behind when they fled, the Viennese started drinking it, and it soon became popular across Europe. When you have your morning croissant and coffee you're following a Viennese custom they picked from the Turks.
Jazz originated in New Orleans (Nouveau Orleans when a French colony; many streets, plazas and buildings there have French names and Creole and Cajun dialects of French are still widely spoken in the area) and came to France with the American soldiers in World War I. It quickly caught on and French musicians played their own version of "Le Jazz Hot".
