 What is Jazz? - Billy Taylor The recently passed Jazz notable, Billy Taylor's free .pdf: "What is Jazz?": http://www.billytaylorjazz.net/kce_jazz.pdf About Billy Taylor: The Official Website of Billy Taylor - Jazz Pianist and Educator Billy Taylor was a familiar face on TV. He played piano here in an early jazz program "The Subject is Jazz" made in 1958. These are available on youtube and also a modern version of the show. Very interesting.

| Jazz is made up of so many styles that it's impossible to pin down. When you have a melody and a progression, you substitute chords for others and you improvise a lot. That covers such a very wide range. I've picked myself a style that I like and I stuck with it. That's jazz for me. |

| Jazz is a feeling in the way you play the tune to make it sound like jazz... It's like "It's not the words--but how you say them"... Articulation and inflection takes time on the instrument to accomplish... Time on the instrument...pierre |
