I think that music is one of the finest performing art:
Without music people could not express themselves in other forums besides through writing and speaking. For example during the Harlem Renaissance black people were able to show their discontent with how the country was being run. Many African Americans used music to get this point across. Music is also a source of entertainment for alot of people. Many children as well as adults take up an instrument so that they can make others happy. This is why I believe music is important.
Most young people white or black will only think about the music that they listen to at the moment. So it's pretty hard to tell you about jazz blues work songs and gospel:
Jazz:
Jazz is a primarily American musical art and , ultimately, the product of New Orleans' melting pot
The abolition of slavery led to new opportunities for education of freed African-Americans, but strict segregation meant limited employment opportunities. Black musicians provided "low-class" entertainment at dances, in minstrel shows, and in vaudeville, and many marching bands formed. Black pianists played in bars, clubs and brothels, and ragtime developed.
Louis Armstrong was the greatest of all Jazz musicians. Armstrong defined what it was to play Jazz. His amazing technical abilities, the joy and spontaneity, and amazingly quick, inventive musical mind still dominate Jazz to this day.
Blues
Blues is a vocal and instrumental form of music based on the use of the blue notes-- notes sung or played at a slightly lower pitch than that of the major scale for expressive purposes. It emerged as an accessible form of self-expression in African-American communities of the United States from spirituals, work songs, field hollers, Because of its personalized form, the popularity of blues music among blacks marked a unique period in the history of secular African American song. shouts and chants, and rhymed simple narrative ballads.
Work songs
Work songs sung by slaves are known by many names around the world. In America, the songs were the foundation for what would eventually become the Blues. Some songs were part of a native heritage and sung to remind the slaves of home, while others were instituted by the slave masters to raise morale, keep slaves working in rhythm, or any number of other purposes. Black American slave songs might be referred to as "chain gang songs" or "spirituals" depending on the context of the song.
