Jazz music has been around for as long as one can remember.
Over the past century, the genre has blossomed through the passion and
incredible talents of jazz greats like Ellington and Armstrong.
The beauty and entertainment of jazz music are part of its
old-world charm. As connoisseurs of the all-American genre, the Razzmajazz Dixieland Band knows of the
inextricable place jazz music holds in the hearts of people everywhere. Specializing
in the New Orleans Traditional and Swing Jazz styles, the band has been

Whether you’re a lover of smooth jazz tunes or have listened
to the entertaining music at festive events, there are many myths you’ve
probably heard of this 20th century genre. Here are some of the
common myths about jazz music, debunked:
Myth: It’s a serious genre
Fact: Many people who haven’t heard much of
jazz music assume it’s all about dark melodies and seriousness. It’s often
associated with somber corporate events or the perfect background music for
weddings. However, that’s not all there is to this rich genre.
Jazz music has long been a mainstay of celebrations owing to
its upbeat nature. The high-energy, engaging performances of large jazz bands
can bring a crowd to life like no other! Jazz performances are all about
improvising and getting the audience to feel the music.
Throughout history, jazz has been the theme song to
revolutionary movements and change. The swing, Charleston, and Lindy Hop are
just some of the many energetic dances that were ushered in by jazz music.
Myth: Jazz isn’t as popular anymore
Fact: The golden era of jazz music came about
in the 1920s. At a time when youthfulness, carefree attitudes, and wealth were
a big part of American society, the musical genre was developed.
Popularly
known as the Jazz Age, the Roaring Twenties
shaped the trajectory of jazz music’s success.
However, that wasn’t the end of it. Now, a century later,
jazz music still continues to be just as popular.
Whether it’s at grand event
openings or intimate dinners, the genre is the perfect musical entertainment
for guests. Its versatility—in band size, style, and fashion—has allowed it to
persist through the ages!
Myth: You can’t enjoy jazz until you’re well-versed in it
Fact: Many believe that you need to be a connoisseur
of jazz music to be able to enjoy it—this couldn’t be further from the truth. A
keen knowledge of the jazz standards will definitely make you more appreciative
of the genre, but that doebesn’t take away from your enjoyment at all!
