The Violin in the Jazz....

The jazz tried to resist how much the introduction of instruments can that were not part of its culture. The smaller classic formção of a group of jazz is the trio, piano, battery, contrabass, very used formation wants in the past wants in the gift, was typical in the workmanship of Bill Evans and is for example today one of the preferred formations of Keith Jarrett as of many of the great pianistas. The quartetos, quintetos or sextetos, are created of course adding metals, sax, trompete or trombone, historical instruments of the jazz.
The age of the electronics finished with the reign them acoustic instruments, the introduction of electronic sounds was perhaps the first step for its diversificção and relationship more I summon with other musical cultures, for unpleasantness of the section conservative who continues insisting on the defenição of jazz as only the music produced for the classic acoustic instruments that with it had grown. History seems not to be in agreement but also it is a question that exceeds in them.
Although to be an acoustic instrument, the violin delayed to arrive at the jazz, and one of the main culprits of its arrival will have been Stephane Grapelli that with Django Rheinhart would create the Hot Club de France, approaching the jazz of a new perspective, one quinteto of ropes.
If the resistance of the jazz to the violin if had to the antagonism between its nostalgic noise and the glad philosophy of the jazz, the jazz rock modified everything that is had in Jean Luc Ponty somebody capable thing to demonstar as all the potentialities of the violin (and it electrified or simply electric violin) could there easily be used to advantage.
Other vilonistas had been appearing with more or less success. but the truth is that the violin continues to be a exepção in the jazz. This compilation of six musics congregates the most known violinistas that of some form had been on to the jazz, is violin time…
