 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 fairly 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 composers 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. Actually, many of 
the early Jazz musicians were bad sight readers and some couldn‟t even read 
music at all. Generally speaking, these early musicians couldn‟t make very 
much money 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.

( ID: 91131 ) Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to 
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions that follow 
Legend has it that sometime toward the end of the Civil War (1861-1865) a government train carrying 
oxen traveling through the northern plains of eastern Wyoming was caught in a snowstorm and had to be 
abandoned. The driver returned the next spring to see what had become of his cargo. Instead of the 
skeletons he had expected to find, he saw his oxen, living, fat, and healthy. How had they survived? 
The answer lay in a resource that unknowing Americans lands trampled underfoot in their haste to cross 
the “Great American Desert” to reach lands that sometimes proved barren. In the eastern parts of the 
United States, the preferred grass for forage was a cultivated plant. It grew well with enough rain, then 
when cut and stored it would cure and become nourishing hay for winter feed. But in the dry grazing 
lands of the West that familiar bluejoint grass was often killed by drought. To raise cattle out there 
seemed risky or even hopeless. Who could imagine a fairy-tale grass that required no rain and somehow 
made it possible for cattle to feed themselves all winter? But the surprising western wild grasses did 
just that. They had wonderfully convenient features that made them superior to the cultivated eastern 
grasses. Variously known as buffalo grass, grama grass, or mesquite grass, not only were they immune to 
drought; but they were actually preserved by the lack of summer and autumn rains. They were not juicy 
like the cultivated eastern grasses, but had short, hard stems. And they did not need to be cured in a barn, 
but dried right where they grew on the ground. 
When they dried in this way, they remained naturally sweet and nourishing through the winter. Cattle left 
outdoors to fend for themselves thrived on this hay. And the cattle themselves helped plant the fresh grass 
year after year for they trampled the natural seeds firmly into the soil to be watered by the melting snows 
of winter and the occasional rains of spring. The dry summer air cured them much as storing in a barn 
cured the cultivated grasses.
