FOREWORD
One of the really significant contributions of the Twentieth Century to music . . . and a strictly American development . . . is the jazz idiom. Although authorities are not in complete agreement, many believe that this spontaneous movement had its origin in New Orleans, in the honky-tonk amusement section of the city, center ed around Basin Street. From there, it spread northward up the Mississippi Valley to Memphis, St. Louis, Kansas City, Chicago, and eastward to New York. During the past fifty years American jazz in its popular forms h as captured the imagination of youth throughout the world, and it has enri ched with new rhythms and harmonies much of the serious music of our time.
The five pieces of MORE NEW ORLEANS JAZZ STYLES, like the first book in this idiom, NEW ORLEANS JAZZ STYLES are written for piano students of intermediate level. The composer-teacher believes .that every student's muscial education should include experiences in a variety of popular stylings, including jazz, as a serious and recurring phase of his studies. The student should be encouraged, too, to deviate from the written notes with his own improvisations if he so desires, for spontaneity is an essential ingredient of the jazz idiom.
