  • African American - Designates the styles surrounding the culture and heritage of African Americans in North America. The styles capture the essence of the African American experience and how personal and political rebellion and triumphs over prejudice and social adversity have enriched and contributed to the music, art, and literature of American culture as a whole.
  • jazz - Music, often improvisational, originally developed around the turn of the 20th century by African Americans from elements of blues and ragtime, with syncopated rhythms and a European harmonic structure. Jazz consistently evolved throughout the 20th century with numerous phases, from a New Orleans style or swing, to "free jazz," for example, which emerged in the late 1950s. Therefore, jazz itself has no precise definition, however it has rarely been a completely composed music.
  • musicians - Those skilled or specializing in the art or practice of music, such as composers, conductors, and performers.
  • singers - People who perform vocal music.
  • trombones (trumpets) - Aerophones with a predominantly cylindrical bore and cup-shaped mouthpiece, characterized by a telescopic slide with which the player varies the length of the tube; common brass instruments in Western-style orchestras, jazz ensembles, and bands.
