Types of Jazz Traditional : Traditional jazz first emerged in the 1930s as jazz writers attempted to distinguish the New Orleans jazz which dated back to the turn of the century from the music of the swing era that followed on its heels. Some musicians from this era included Joe “King” Oliver and “Jelly Roll Morton”. Today, the phase " traditional jazz" is also employed to describe such early and influential styles as ragtime, boogie woogie, and Harlem stride piano, all of which made important contributions to the evolution of jazz. Big Band and Swing: During the big band era, which spanned roughly a decade from 1935 to 1945, jazz music was at the very fore front of popular culture in the United States. Bands which embraced more hard-driving rhythms and featured the improvisations of stellar soloists, such as the one led by Duke Ellington and Count Basie were dubbed "swing" or "hot" bands.
