The first musician to publish a jazz song was Ben Harney, and it was published as ragtime. Jazz was brought about in around 1895. It's birthplace is generally attributed to New Orleans, however it also nearly simultaneously evolved in other regions of the US. It was spread to Europe during the Great War (WWI). \n\nSome of the greats: Scott Joplin, Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman, Bud Freeman\n\nThen Around 1930 the 'Big Band' formed, and produced music called Swing. This is the place where Jazz REALLY got popular with the introduction of dance pieces like the jitterbug.\n\nWith the introduction of artists like Dizzy Gillespie, and Charlie Parker, Bebop was created in the early 40's. It became vogue in 1945.\n\nEddie Jefferson and John Hendricks took Bebop to it's hieght in 1957-1962. They took this form of Jazz and produced Vocalese, or more commonly know as Scat, where the artist reproduced the sounds of instruments with the human voice. Vocalese was not considered popular until very recent times.\n\nOne of the biggest producers and pushers of Jazz into popularity was Glen Miller. Upon replacing the trumpet as the melodist, and replacing it with a clarinet and a tenor sax, Glen Miller's Band was formed, in 1937. They stuck to little to no improvisation which is why the music is some of the most played todate.  \n\nI hope this helps you in your search for Music. Jazz has been very instrumental in my happiness in my life, and I hope you can learn from it, and use it to express yourself as I have.

Find some music by Mike Oldfield.  He is a zydeco/modern jazz composer.  His music is _perfect_ for that.  You can find his music by doing a search for his name.  You might remember "Tubular Bells" from his early days.  It was one of his first big hits.

It kinda depends on what kind of music you like.  More often then not, you can get a good amount of info by the type of music the band plays.  And sometimes you can just type the bands' name that you are interested in and do a search to give you such info.  You can also get good info in magazines.

My band uses a site called Gigmaster to look for jobs.  It has a bunch of bands and their styles, pictures, etc. and you can find ones in your area that look good and ask them for quotes.

I found this faq to be informative.  The second link is a response to the faq that gave a more technical description.  It was, of course, a google search.

www.ascap.com has a service they call 'ACE' - it doesn't have everything on it (of course) but (especially if the song is American) there's about a 75% chance you'll find the song, performers, composers, publisher and address and contact information of whatever song you happen to be looking for (plus another twenty titles with the same name!)

You need to get to a university library with a music program.  They will have subscriptions to article databases like RILM, Music Index, and IIMP.  There are thousands of articles indexed there.  Also, Google scholar will find some of the articles.  But not like the real thing.

I to am a fan of the jazz genre. I have read that there are 12 differ ant forms of jazz. I prefer the older based material like the stuff you mentioned. Miles Davis, John Coltrane and Sonny Rollins would be my all time favorites in jazz. My suggestion to you would be to go to a CD distributor. Best Buy,Circuit City, Maybe Wal Mart or some independent music outlet. Go to the end of the jazz/blues section. Usually after the Z section, there will be a Compilation/Best of. If you are looking for a smorgasbord of jazz on just a few discs, than I would recommend you do that. Good luck and enjoy!!
