Another musical genre created by African-Americans, the blues, has heavily influenced jazz as well as rock and roll. About one third of jazz is in blues form with twelve measures in a song and uses ---"blue notes", the flatted third, fifth, and seventh notes of the musical scale. Jazz has inspired everything from slang such as “cool” and “jazzy”; to dance styles such as tap and swing; to art forms such as filmmaking and beat poetry. Its dynamic nature and strong individual performers have also given rise to different branches of jazz.
非洲裔美國(guó)人所創(chuàng)的另一種音樂(lè)類(lèi)型──藍(lán)調(diào),對(duì)爵士樂(lè)和搖滾樂(lè)都有深遠(yuǎn)的影響。大約有三分之一的爵士樂(lè)采用藍(lán)調(diào)形式,一首歌有12小節(jié),使用“藍(lán)音”,即把第三、五、七個(gè)音階降半音(如C大調(diào)的E、G、B)。爵士樂(lè)激發(fā)了各種靈感,如:從俚語(yǔ)中的“酷”和“奔放”兩個(gè)詞,到舞蹈風(fēng)格中的踢跶舞和搖擺舞(即興爵士舞),以及電影制片和節(jié)拍詩(shī)等藝術(shù)形式。爵士樂(lè)富有活力的性質(zhì)和有很強(qiáng)感染力的個(gè)人表演者也導(dǎo)致了不同流派爵士樂(lè)的產(chǎn)生。
