Blues came from classical, Jazz came from orchestral, rock & roll also classical, everything else is low IQ garbage where staccato and heavy repetition take away the ability to think.
Blues is a mix of of field hollers, ballads, etc I thought. I think a very simplified breakdown of rock would be blues/R&B having a baby with country music. I didn’t realize how much of an influence classical had til I was in my 20s and started listening to it regularly. My mom would try to get us to listen to classical growing up but I didn’t want to because rap was so much cooler to me then. She knew what she was talking about. Plus looney tunes exposes you to a lot of classical as a kid
Jazz/ Rock/ Blues all have their musical roots in European classical/ orchestral music. Bards were Celtic minstrel poets who came up with the small group to single person “orchestra” which is now called the modern band and the older term for band was much larger. Black slaves took European instruments and lyrical styles and innovated with them to create the sounds we see in jazz and blues.
No arguments. So they took their field hollers and applied them to a European music scale so to speak. One of my favorite old blues song is Gallows Pole by Leadbelly which was redone by Led Zeppelin. The song traces back to a Scottish ballad. That’s what got me interested in looking into more roots of music.
A lot of blues has its roots in Irish and Scottish ballads, the chaotic rhythms seen in jazz can also be seen in Irish jigs. The intermingling of those cultures with black slaves is also where a lot of names (Tyrone is Irish), food (fried foods were Scottish for field workers because the coating held well over time), and social practices (anti-reading, porch lazing, slight culture) were all Scot Irish traits that the New England culture despised.
