ther. In the 1960s, free Jazz appears and begins to be popular. The great musician Coleman changes the past ways of composing music according to certain rhythm, accompany and harmony. Jazz requests improvisator to give vein to all their energies and passion. Jazz of this period puts more emphasis on improvisation and offers more space to players. And rock’s instruments, volumes, and styles are introduced into Jazz, and fusing Jazz sprouts at the narrow space of Jazz and rock. In 1965, the fusing Jazz becomes a member of Jazz family. Its earliest and famous fusing experiments are done in the recording of musician Miles Davis “In a silent way”. This kind of music style provides the original art with new appreciative points of view. And in the 1970s, Jazz and blues grow up in America together and they both convene finally at a fusion. This is another great fusion in Jazz. The fusion injects Jazz with new blood. After the fusion, Jazz’s tone is still agile, sometimes it is loud and sonorous; sometimes it is bold and unrestrained. In terms of the performance, solo is not the only way, instead, team efforts also become the band features. At this time, American artists do not monopolize the scene and Jazz is spread to the world quietly.
The development of Jazz’ has a close connection with the progress of the society. America is a country of immigrants, and every year thousands of immigrants, with their different cultures and traditions, come here to fulfill their “America Dream”. Immigration has plainly brought huge benefits to America. These new cultures interact with American culture, and this multicultural state of American society is just America’s particularity and advantage. Although America doesn’t monopoly the art of Jazz, Jazz is still the treasure of American culture. However, Jazz of this period does not sound as sweet as the promises of American Dream. In Jazz, the sound of emptiness and corruption is echoed. After the Second World War, a buying spree becomes a central feature of American postwar life. People vie with each other to buy all kinds of consume goods. Materialism is felt and practiced everywhere. Meanwhile, the influence of the war continues to exist and patriotism refuses to tolerate dissents. The cold war and international confrontation limit the freedom of social dissidents whose criticism of government policies might be labeled as communist propaganda. Opposition to strict social conformity leads to the appearance of “the Beat Generation”. The musician Miles Davis expresses the mood best in his music “In a Silent Way." silent partner, silent regrets, silent movie, on silent wings, my silent undoing, silent Angel, silent nation, silent prayer, my silent love, colliding I mind….” all these silent things demonstrate the player’s inner contradiction, struggle, disappointment for American society and rules. Obviously, Jazz in the two decades is the embodiment of the depressive life of American people.
C. Jazz in the 1980s-1990s
In the 1980s-1990s, with the help of internet, Jazz sweeps over the whole world, and nearly every country has its own style of Jazz. Jazz’s multi-elemental development becomes the main trend.
In the two decades, Jazz has caught on to the audience like wildfire. What once was a pure American genre now is seeping into other countries.
B. Jazz in the 1960s-1970s
