A Why did Ragtime, marching band music, and the Blues lose popularity after about 1900? B What were the origins of Jazz and how did it differ from other forms of music? C What has been the greatest contribution of cornet players to music in the twentieth century? D Which early Jazz musicians most influenced the development of Blues music? According to the passage, Jazz originated in _ A Chicago B St Louis C along the Mississippi river D New Orleans The word “welded” in paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A squeezed B bound C added D stirred Which of the following distinguished Jazz as a new form of musical expression? A the use of cornets B “hot Jazz” C improvisation D New Orleans The word “skeletal” in paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A framework B musical C basic D essential Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A many early Jazz musicians had poor sight B there is no slow music in Jazz C many early Jazz musicians had little formal musical training D the cornet is the most common musical instrument used in Jazz The word “menial” in paragraph is closest in meaning to A means B attractive C degrading D skilled According to the passage, which of the following belonged to the second wave of New Orleans Jazz musicians?
