Jazz Journeys

Summary/Abstract: The paper offers a synthetic presentation of the “journeys” of jazz across the world, from the beginnings of the genre in New Orleans until today, when jazz belongs to the whole world. Attention is also given to the stylistic changes experienced by jazz in the course of time, under the influence of various historic events and trends, such as the civil-rights and counterculture movements, and to the manner in which this music could itself operate as an agent of social change. The second part of the paper presents biographic information, outlining the personal jazz journey of the author.
