Blues/Jazz History

Watching the movie during class i found to be very educational and interesting. I had no idea on how jazz was created or the origins in which it developed. The blues being the foundation of jazz music and New Orleans one of the birthplaces of this type of music. Musicians such as Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington watching and hearing them play music was very fascinating. Learning where the term scatting came from was cool and hearing the story in which Lois Armstrong first developed it*. While recording the song "Heebie Jeebies" and having the words fall of, improvising by creating sounds by singing with the instruments. I found the movie very cool and it gave insight to things i had no idea about.
