Bruce and his development
Blues is a genre of music created by African descendants in the United States. Like jazz, it has become one of the few new art forms in modern times. It should also be regarded as a kind of original folk music, which was formed around 1900. Because there are no fixed rules for blues music, even musicians and singers who have not been strictly trained can skillfully use it. These people's performances can often form direct and subtle communication with the audience. The freed slaves hummed while working. Most of the songs were handed down from generation to generation by their ancestors. The lyrics also contain ridicule and simple fantasies about the world. These lyrics express their yearning for life, their longing for love and their desire to get rid of bondage.
Standard blues music generally has a structure of 12 bars, which is divided into three lines with four bars in each line. The lyrics are two corresponding sentences. The first sentence is repeated, each sentence is about 2-5 bars long. The other four bars are usually improvised by performers. Sometimes performers will insert a dialogue, but usually some musical languages are accompanied by guitars or pianos. This format of Bruce has produced many variations under the constant exploration of artists, such as Bruce in paragraph 13. Because blues music is different from many traditional European music habits, it is despised by well-educated blacks. Blues is not a major or minor, but a "blues style". Those "out-of-tune" blues notes can't be played on the piano, and they are thought to have borrowed more or less from African music.
The blues music was first published by Handy in Dallas Blues and Memphis Blues in 1972, while BillBroonzy thought he wrote some blues songs in 1890. The first blues record was recorded by Mamie Smith on 1920. Perry Bradford's Crazy Blues was an unexpected success among her good singers, and a brand-new record market was discovered. But at that time, most of the famous female blues artists were Mamie Smith, Clara Smith, Trixie Smith and Bessie Smith.

Male blues singers at that time were born in a family under slavery and were influenced by institutional racial discrimination in adulthood. They often have to play the piano and sing by themselves, and the staff or researchers sent by the record company to explore talents record for them outdoors. Because their life is very hard, they often die young. At that time, there were many famous singers, such as Charlie Barton, Johnson Robert, Sanhouse, Buka White, Tom Johnson and the blind Lemmon Jefferson. They had a far-reaching influence on the pop music in the post-war period of 10 because their songs were recorded and preserved. The blind children Fuller, Sonny Terry, Brownie Mikey and Gary Davis represent the jazz tradition in the southeastern United States. Blues music accompanied by piano was all the rage in the 1940s, and it was called Buji Wooji. Other blues stars also have profound attainments, such as snooker Eagleling, Mans Lipscomb, john hurt and others, who are deeply influenced by Ragtime and other styles.
《R&B》(R & amp； B) When it appeared in the mid-1940s, it didn't even have a name. But as soon as the word appeared, it spread quickly and widely. Today, R&; B has become synonymous with black pop music, although it is more mentioned by special listeners and people in the record industry as a kind of music different from rap, soul music and urban music. Early rock music
Is based on r&; Mainly B, it is an extension of "country and western music" influenced by pop music. R & ampb is not only an important transitional music between blues and rock music, but also the most important musical branch between blues and soul music.
Of course, Bruce is undoubtedly R&; B is an important part, but the jazz element is equally important. The earliest r &；; B Artists come from the fields of "Big Band" and "Swing Jazz". Before World War II, jazz was far more popular than it is today. It was a kind of music played for dancing at that time, but there were usually singers in the band. During World War II, many important jazz artists began to develop "Be Bop" and "Cool Jazz", which had few dance elements. However, influenced and restricted by wartime economic and military factors, "big bands" began to decrease gradually. But listeners, especially those in the rapidly growing African-American community in big cities, still want to hear dancing music. Therefore, in order to adapt to the audience, musicians made a "Boogie" with louder volume, more electro-acoustic instruments and repeated fragments.
