ALL THE JAZZ
Jazz has been called "the art of expression set to music", and "America's great contribution to music". It has
functioned as popular art and enjoyed periods of widespread public response, in the "jazz age" of the 1920s, in
the "swing era" of the late 1930s and in the peak popularity of modern jazz in the late 1950s. The standard
legend about Jazz is that it originated around the end of the 19th century in New Orleans and moved up the
Mississippi River to Memphis, St. Louis, and finally to Chicago. It welded together the elements of Ragtime,
marching band music, and the Blues. However, the influences of what led to those early sounds goes back to
tribal African drum beats and European musical structures. Buddy Bolden, a New Orleans barber and cornet
player, is generally considered to have been the first real Jazz musician, around 1891.

What made Jazz significantly different from the other earlier forms of music was the use of improvisation. Jazz
displayed a break from traditional music where a composer wrote an entire piece of music on paper, leaving the
musicians to break their backs playing exactly what was written on the score. In a Jazz piece, however, the song
is simply a starting point, or sort of skeletal guide for the Jazz musicians to improvise around. Many of the early
Jazz musicians were bad sight readers and some couldn't even read music at all. These early musicians couldn't
make money very much and were stuck working menial jobs to make a living. The second wave of New
Orleans Jazz musicians included such memorable players as Joe Oliver, Kid Ory, and Jelly Roll Morton. These
men formed small bands and took the music of earlier musicians, improved its complexity, and gained greater
success. This music is known as "hot Jazz" due to the enormously fast speeds and rhythmic drive.

A young cornet player by the name of Louis Armstrong was discovered by Joe Oliver in New Orleans. He soon
grew up to become one of the greatest and most successful musicians of all time, and later one of the biggest
stars in the world. The impact of Armstrong and other talented early Jazz musicians changed the way we look at
music.

ELECTORAL COLLEGE
The Electoral College has nothing to do with college and contains no students. The Electoral College consists of
votes that each state acquires based on the number of representatives it has in Congress. Each state has two
electoral votes because each state has two senators. The remaining electoral votes are determined by the number
of Congressmen, the number of which is based on the population of the state established by the Census taken
each decade. During the presidential election, most states cast all their electoral votes for the candidate who
wins the popular vote in that state. It's all very confusing, but the founding fathers know what they were doing.
By having and using the Electoral College candidates' campaign in every state, but just because they win the
popular vote across the country doesn't mean they will always win the election. Case in point, in election 2000,
