The Beastie Boys. Need I say more? When most think of the rambunctious rap group from that came straight out of the 1980’s, they think about girls, partying, crude humor and maybe some music in between.

Jazz is most often thought to have been started in the 1920s as this explosive movement, but that is in fact not the case. Starting in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century many African American musicians have started to explore their taste in improvising, and where better to do that than New Orleans (Anderson). Before the 1920s these jazz musicians have already been going around sharing the unique sound, but up until then, jazz had remained majorly in New Orleans. Interestingly during this period, a common jazz band would consist of a cornet, a clarinet, a trombone, and a rhythm section when at this period of time the clarinet is not commonly associated with being a jazz instrument, it moved into being the saxophone rather.

Neil Young is among the genuses of rock music. The minute I said rock this does not suggest just to that category, since he can be placed in the more comprehansive picture in rock, folk, blues or maybe jazz genre, he belongs to probably the most prominent musician. The Elvis got a label King, Bruce Springsteen is The Boss, there are a lot of queens of soul queens of pop, kings of pop, kings of hip hop and so forth. Yet Neil who may be also the king of everything, acquired only nickname as The Godfather of Grunge. When you read his biography, you will have to come to be concius, that what he executed music should be accomplished, just like there was no other option, he was ment to be what he end up being, one of the best artists certainly not just in music.

Armstrong was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1901, even though he sometimes said later in his life that he was born on July 4, 1900. He was raised by his mother and grandmother after his father, who was a factory worker, left the family while Armstrong was still a child. His family was very poor, and as a child Armstrong worked many odd jobs to help support the family. Armstrong was surrounded by music while working and playing in the streets of New Orleans. Since he could not afford an instrument, he learned to sing and joined a vocal quartet that sang on street corners for a little extra money.
