what is the tempo ( the speed at which the music is performed) of Jazz music?

The tempo is different for each song.  I could make a generality, and say that most jazz songs in 3/4 time are around 135bpm (beats per minute), but that's hard to determine.  Some jazz songs are slower, and are played as low as 95bpm.  If you're looking for determine the tempo for a particular arrangment I would suggest getting a hold of a metronome, or this online metronome:\nhttp://www.metronomeonline.com/\n\nA metronome will be able to count out the beat for you, and you can sync it up with the jazz you're looking to play.  Hope this helps!

I don´t know who actually plays, but most jazz music at Everwood is from Art Tatum. Hope it helps.

"The time signature (also known as "meter signature") is a notational device used in Western musical notation to specify how many beats are in each bar and what note value constitutes one beat. Time signatures indicate meter, but do not necessarily determine it."\n\nThis, and more, available on the free, online encyclopedia, Wikipedia at:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_signature\n\nHope this helps!

Typically a 3 minute song will run you somewhere between 3,000 and 4,000 KB.    It shouldn't hurt your computer, although I'm thinking you probably have a small sample of a song, and not the full song. :p

jazz, man.  this is when jazz truly developed as a genre of music separate from blues and took on a life of it's own.  we wouldn't have coltrane, monk, miles, or any of the jazz greats, groups like the yellowjackets or the new up and coming guys like roy hargrove.  jazz music also branched out into other musci genres.  it influences r&b, neosoul, and a lot os rappers.  a tribe called quest, de la soul, and the pharcye used a lot of jazz with hip hop beats in their day.  rappers like common use jazz influences in their beats - well kayne west, who produces for most of these guys samples and uses a lot of jazz influences in their songs.  without the harlem renaissance, jazz wouldn't have evolved the way it did.

I go through different scale patterns all over the neck for an hour everyday, I'm not even a speed player, but I'm faster than most speed players.\n\nIf you are trying to get to a new speed on the metronome play 10bpm past your limit for awhile, not perfectly, but keep up as much as you can, when you turn it back down your desired speed will be easier. Obviously make sure the conditioning of your 3 and 4 fingers are balanced out to the other two in your hand. \n\nMost musicians upstroke is weaker than their down stroke. If you have the time, do only upstrokes for a month or two, in every exercise you do, adjust the metronome accordingly and still try for accuracy and to increase speed. \n\nEconomy picking is a must to learn if you havn't already.

While being held captive inside my mothers womb, she listened to jazz.  From birth till now, the music that makes me sing inside, be happy when I feel sad, makes me want to holler instead of crying...is jazz, jazz, jazz.  Jazz is quite soothing to my appetite and cooling to my soul on a hot day. Who needs air-conditioning when you have the easy breezy mellow sounds of smooth jazz! During the slavery days, music was the only means of communicating amongst the slaves. Those various sounds became cants, then, blues and so on.  Yes I enjoy my music and jazz is my preference.\n\nFor the record, I have attended Broadway plays with musical accompaniment via a string quartet, I also enjoy classical, rhythm & blues, some country western and various mixtures of opera, movie sound-tracks, classical piano music and violins. I also enjoy movies of love such as the motion picture entitled "Some Where In Time", performed by Roger Williams, composed and conducted by John Barry, starring Steve Reeves and Jane Seymour. Yes I enjoy my music and jazz is my preference.

If you can measure the *frequency*, you know the wavelength.\n(As the wavelength is just the frequency divided by the speed of sound.)  I found a calculator that does this for you:\nhttp://www.sengpielaudio.com/calculator-wavelength.htm\n\nIdeally you would get an oscilloscope to measure the frequency.\n\nIf you don't have access to one, if you have a guitar tuner, you could measure the frequency (the tuner will tell you the pitch, say A#, and you can look up the frequency of that pitch in a music book).\n\nOr if you have a bunch of tuning forks or a pitch pipe, you could get an approximation.\n\nIf you have an ocilloscope, don't forget to get the precise speed of sound at your elevation (sound travels a bit faster at sea level, than if you live in, say, Denver).  (Note that the calculator link above gives you a place to enter the speed of sound where you live.)  If you're using a guitar tuner or tuning forks, they are only approximations anyway, so the exact speed of sound for your elevation won't make a difference.  \n\nP.S.  I found a reference to a sound analyzer you can get for your computer!  The software is free, but it needs a soundcard in your computer (which you probably have).  It uses the information from a microphone in your computer to give you the frequency and wavelength of the musical note.  It's kinda cheating if this is for a science-fair project ... but maybe this is what you want.\nhttp://www.relisoft.com/Freeware/freq.html

There is no "easy" way to tell. Key signatures are purely representative of the Ionic or major key. Any relative modes must be determined by analyzing the phrases and/or chords.\n\nYou're primarily looking for the root where the phrase resolves to (i.e. A in the case of A minor). This goes for jazz and classical music.

Music is conceptual time expressed in the structures of tones and silence. It is the exploration of time in complex generative forms through rigorous construction of patterns and combinations of natural stimuli like sound. Music is a human activity which involves structured and audible sounds, which is used for artistic or aesthetic, entertainment, or ceremonial purposes. Definitions vary in different cultures and social milieus.\n\nThe definition of music as sound with particular characteristics is taken as a given by psychoacoustics, and is a common one in musicology and performance. There are observable patterns to what is broadly labeled music, and while there are understandable cultural variations, the properties of music are the properties of sound as perceived and processed by humans.\n\nGreek philosophers and medieval theorists defined music as tones ordered horizontally (as melodies) and vertically (as harmonies). Music theory, within this realm, is studied with the presupposition that music is orderly and often pleasant to hear. However, in the 20th century, composers challenged the notion that music had to be pleasant by creating music that explored harsher, darker timbres.\n\n20th century composer John Cage disagreed with the notion that music was pleasant melodies. Instead, he argued that any sounds we can hear can be music, saying, for example, "There is no noise, only sound,". According to musicologist Jean-Jacques Nattiez (1990 p.47-8,55): "The border between music and noise is always culturally defined--which implies that, even within a single society, this border does not always pass through the same place; in short, there is rarely a consensus.... By all accounts there is no single and intercultural universal concept defining what music might be."\n\nThe composer Anton Webern expressed in his legendary statement With me, things never turn out as I wish, but only as is ordained for me-as I must stating the underlying generative process of music. The German philosopher Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe stated the nature of patterns and forms as the basis of music by stating that "architecture is frozen music". By this he meant that any natural stimuli that has underlying structural-patterns is musical in form.\n\nOther definitions of music list the aspects or elements that make up music. Molino (1975: 43) argues that, in addition to a lack of consensus, "any element belonging to the total musical fact can be isolated, or taken as a strategic variable of musical production." Nattiez gives as examples Mauricio Kagel's Con Voce [with voice], where a masked trio silently mimes playing instruments. In this example, sound, a common element, is excluded, while physical gesture, a less common element in definitions of music, is given primacy.

Music is composed of waves of a certain frequency, amplitude and wavelength.  This wave can be expressed as a sine function.\n\nWhen music is recorded, we try to reproduce those wave patterns on a piece of tape, or in a digital file.  Unlike analog recording, digital recording needs to "digitize" or sample the wave pattern to record the height of the wave.  It must do this very rapidly to get a good "picture" of the waveform.  All this math and science goes into CDs, DVDs, even records, tapes, etc.

As long as you play in the chord structure you can play whatever you want. Actually you don't even have to do that...there are no hard fast rules...its whatever you think sounds best.

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...)

Rhythm (Modern Greek for 'style') is the variation of the accentuation of sounds or other events over time. "Rhythm involves patterns of duration that are phenomenally present in the music" When governed by rule, it is called meter.\n\nTempo (Italian for "time") is the speed or pace of a given piece. It is an extremely crucial element of sound, as it can affect the mood and difficulty of a piece.
