Blog Post #8 Jazz Soundtrack in Film

The eight post shows the combination of jazz and film. Some of toy may already known about elements of jazz, but  I did not know much information about Jazz, so I searched the link summarizing jazz. Here is the link.

History of Jazz

The birth of Jazz is New Orleans, Louisiana around 20th century. At this time, New Orleans had a "meting pot" culture. Since then, Jazz can be reflected through cultural diversity, In terms of music preference, I enjoy Jazz the most. However, other people may not like Jazz because it does not have the same excitement as other types of music. Jazz may also be hard to be interested in. Jazz is my preference that it makes comfortable and can have some excitement, too. 

Jazz Soundtrack in Film

The link above shows a film using a Jazz soundtrack. If you click on the link, there are some examples. One of the examples I wanted to emphasize is the film Taxi Driver (1976). It uses the element of Jazz, and could represent the sense of story, at least based on my understanding. The others could also be heard different from what you think about Jazz. 

Once you watch the film based on Jazz element, you might able to listen to only Jazz. The situation could be true of another style of music, too
