Gangs in one form or another have been around for
hundreds of years. Pirates were probably some of
the original bad gangs. The groups that

in print is primarily sacred music. This music,
for the most part, is in the form of sections of
the Mass, such as the Gloria, Kyrie and Agnus Dei.
Most people of the Middle Ages were poor peasants
who worked all day for meager wages and had no
idle time lounging the way the upper classes did.
Therefore, there are few extant secular
compositions of music from this era. The rise of a

were not appreciated until almost one hundred
years later. In the 1950 s, the idea of computers
was brought up again. This is when people finally
started crediting Babbage's work. The technology

was discovered in November 1974. She was the most
complete hominid skeleton that had been found in
the world at that time. Being the only complete
skeleton that had been found that was older than
Neanderthal, she was a great discovery,

20 Th Century Duke Ellington

In this research paper I will explore the origins
and attempt to construct a loose temporal graph of
the musical phenomenon known commonly as swing
jazz. From its roots and derivative styles, I hope
to prove that the assimilation of the black or
Afro-American jazz music into the mainstream white
culture of the early 20 th century was the cause
of the sharp rise in the popularity of swing jazz.
This boom of good will towards what could have
only been known as black or Negro music was in
itself a ...
