blues is a musical style created by black people living in the United States in the poor riff-raff. It originated in the delta of the Mississippi River at the beginning of the 2th century, and worked as a labor bugle in the early days, and later gradually influenced the development track of world pop music.

Live an erhu-like life with the blues spirit of hip-hop: face a miserable life with an optimistic attitude. Blues music pays great attention to self-emotional catharsis and originality or improvisation, and hip-hop culture is similar to it.

The difference between blues and jazz is as follows:

1. The difference between rhythm and rhythm: The representative rhythm name of blues is Shuffle? Beat (based on triplet) has a strong sense of ups and downs, like riding a horse, which makes people bounce. Jazz represents the rhythm of 4Beat? Swing, characterized by swaying, can make people feel swaying.

2. The leading role in music is different: the leading role in blues music is singing, the part of musical instruments serves singing, and the solo part of musical instruments also imitates the feeling of human speech. Jazz is mainly played by instrumental music, and the instrumental music played by the main player is the protagonist. An easy-to-remember saying is: blues music has songs before songs, while jazz music has songs before songs (New Orleans jazz doesn't sing, but plays pure music)

3. The players in the early stage were different: blues music was played by blacks for a long time, and few whites participated in the early stage of development. Jazz was played by blacks and whites from the early days of its formation, and it was blacks and whites who laid the foundation for the development of jazz until the peak of apartheid.

4. Differences in inheritance: In the huge system of jazz, after a new style appears, it will intentionally overthrow the previous accumulation, and the innovation is very obvious. The development of blues music has been constantly innovating in the accumulation of the system, and the inheritance of a hundred years can be connected into a line.

5. Different musical instruments are used in the performance: blues music mainly uses musical instruments, such as guitar, harmonica, piano, drum, bass, organ, banjo, mandolin, violin, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, African flute, etc., with plucked instruments as the core and wind music as the rhythm assistance.

jazz mainly uses musical instruments: cornet (trumpet/horn), piano, clarinet, trombone, saxophone, horn, Double Bass, banjo, violin, guitar, Malimba, flute and so on. Mainly brass and woodwind instruments, all kinds of instruments can be called protagonists

6. Differences in harmony syllables: blues music basically uses the traditional African pentatonic scale and blues syllables, which mainly highlights the rhythm and emotional changes, which are closer to the essence of human nature. Jazz should use natural syllables and various modal syllables to enrich the melodic construction of performance.
