Honolulu Jazz Quartet

Celebrating 100 Years of JazzHonolulu Jazz QuartetCelebrating 100 Years of JazzJazz is widely considered the only truly original American art form, and its birth as serious art can be traced to the year 1924. To quote Wikipedia: In 1924 the improvised solo had become an integral part of most jazz performances.. Jazz was becoming increasingly popular in New Orleans, Kansas City, Chicago and New York City and 1924 was something of a benchmark of jazz being seen as a serious musical form.That was the year George Gershwin composed Rhapsody in Blue, considered one of the greatest compositions of the 20th century, and its premiere elevates jazz to the level of serious classical music. Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong begin their recording careers, and Satchmo joins Fletcher Hendersons Big Band in New York City, where he develops a style of playing that will influence all of jazz. The rest is history.Fast forward 100 years, and The Honolulu Jazz Quartet (itself nearing the quarter-century mark) and its special guests celebrate the centennial of jazz as serious art with its renditions of jazz classics from every decade of the art forms development: from the ragtime of the 1920s, to the swing era of the 1930s, to the be-bop revolution to the 1940s, to the birth of the cool in the 1950s, to the funk of the 1960s, to the fusion jazz of the 1970s and beyond.
