Excerpt from “Jazz: The Recipe”

Church music was important to jazz. African Americans made new kinds of church music. They formed their own churches and rewrote the old songs to express their faith. They changed the words, the beat, and the tune. They used the African “call and response” when they sang. This music became an ingredient in the jazz recipe.

Music of white Americans added to jazz. The Scotch-Irish had ballads. Ballads often tell stories of heroes and their bravery, and these stories are often sad. The song is usually simple. In a ballad, the story is often more important than the music. Ballads became another ingredient in the jazz recipe.
