 * **The music called Jazz was born sometime around 1895 in New Orleans. It combined elements of Ragtime, marching band music and Blues. What differentiated Jazz from these earlier styles was the widespread use of improvisation by all of the musicians . []**

Band type- **JAZZ ** Brief description: Voice has been a part of jazz since the beginning. Almost every instrumental jazz style has its vocal equivalent. Louis Armstrong revolutionized music with his horn and natural singing style. Billie Holiday and Frank Sinatra used standard songs as a means for personal expression and how they phrased their lines influenced others well past the Swing era. The lush voices of Billy Eckstine and his protege Sarah Vaughan worked in the Bop idiom that they helped create. While Ella Fitzgerald could front a full string orchestra with an amazingly pure voice, she could also scat (improvise wordlessly on a melody) better than even Mel Torme, who epitomized the 1950s Cool West Coast scene with his sophisticated, light swing. Betty Carter took singing further out by abandoning the narrative of lyrics and influencing arty Post-Boppers. ([])

**__Brief History About the Band:__ The band originates from Dublin, Ireland in 2006. We began our career as just a jazz band club at our school we would sing and our fellow classmates would play the instruments among them our best friend and jazz trumpet player was Johnny McDougal. We Would play in our courtyard to raise money for our school, until we were discovered by no other than Irish Pop Rock sensation Bono. He told us personally that we had amazing talent and should be put to good use, at first we were skeptical but just seeing Bono in person just amazed us from the start and believed in him, He would give us his phone number and would say "Ok mates if you want a gig at the Meridian, think it over and contact me when you have the chance to set up a gig." We had to think it over as a group to see if we were willing to do this, everyone agreed, we called Bono to set an appointment and get the Meridian gig. We arrived at the Meridian and pressure was on us we have never played in front of a live huge crowd before as a team we would be nervous, but as a group we pulled it together played our instruments and would Sing our hearts out to the crowd and ever since then the rest was history. We would sign with JVC records with a name called "Self Made Men" and would compose our 1st album called “Materialistic" made a big boom in jazz operations. But as money went so did the tragedy our beloved jazz trumpet sensation Johnny past away due to an unfortunate drunk driver that hit him on the way back home. We were downs trucked of shock and unfortunately broke up the band. But we would come back together and soothe the pain with music and came up with our new album "Rising From the Ashes" and that brings us today.**
