They are right... you can find douzens of Jazz substyles. If you are a newbie to Jazz, I guess we can structure it in:\n- New Orleands Jazz or Dixieland (1920-1930s)\n- Big Band Jazz or Swing (1930s)\n- Bebop (1940s)\n- Cool Jazz (1950s)\n- Hard Bop (1950-1960)\n- Free Jazz (mainly 1960s)\n- Jazz Rock or Fusion (1970s)\n- Contemporary Jazz (now...)

The answer to your question is yes.  The most important thing for a jazz musician to know for improvisation is scales and modes.  Some musicians do rehearse their solos so they can sound like their favorite musician if they want. Others who are experienced have played for so long they have plenty of ideas to play around with to sound different every night.

Start with Ornette Coleman, Henry Threadgill and John Zorn. They represent the beginnings, middle periods and current trends in avant garde jazz, respectively.

Many. A better question would have been: How many genres of music has Miles Davis helped create and influence?

Old school big band and swing.  Benny Goodman, Ella Fitzgerald, Rosemary Clooney, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Glenn Miller, Dinah Washington oooooooooooh so much good stuff.  \n\nNo I'm not  a senior citizen, if you may think so.  I'm 17.  I just like the vintage jazz.

This one is not easy.. For one idea, go to the URL below:\n\nhttp://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-jaz1.htm\n\nHOWEVER. I think of all the possibilities, the origin of the word "jazz" is probably that which is traced back to a vulgar term used for sexual acts

Modern Jazz Quartet-They were a band who had a strong classical influece, as well as the blues.\nHerbie Mann-Great flute player\nDave Brubeck-His use of odd time signatures is phenomenal\nArt Blakey & The Jazz Messengers-One of the most agressive jazz groups I heard.\nHorace Silver-One of the great innovators in hard bop.\nMax Roach/Clifford Brown -The dynamic duo of jazz\nAhmad Jamal-Like his Less Is More approach to playing...\nCannonball & Nat Adderley-what can I say? Two brothers who play good jazz music\nWeather Report-perhaps the best spacey jazz music you'll ever hear...

There is no "Best" music.  All music should be considered.  As a musician, I would be a fool to limit myself to just one type of music.  Why cheat myself out of the learning experience.  Swing, Jazz, Blues, Rock, Metal, Pop, Dance, Hip-Hop...they all contribute in some way.  Try to always keep an open mind when it comes to music.  What you may dislike now, you could end up liking later.  And honestly, the Music Industry is so poor right now.  We need people like yourself to absorb what was so that what will be is something new and different.

You should listen to jazz and soul. (Ray Charles for example)\nClassic Rock is cool too. (I suggest Fleetwood Mac)\nPop and hip hop are cool for dancing and lisening to.\n\nI also suggest an awesome soundtrack: The RENT MOVIE soundtrack. You should watch the movie or buy the album. Those are my favorite songs ever.

I can't understand your question very well.......but you just need to know the genre of the music you like. You should know into what category it fits...........I hope this help you.Does it answer your question?And by the way, the person above...is wrong. Genres don't have anything to do with fast, slow, loud or not. Within every category you will find a variety of moods, colors, tempos etc. And speaking of jazz................Chick Corea and The Yellow Jackets are far from being slow!!!!
