【文章结构】第一段讲爵士音乐的来源,同时有欧洲和非洲的根基
【段落大意】
p1 爵士乐产生的背景是美国的黑奴贸易以及文化融合。爵士乐1900年代出现在新奥尔良,一方面借用了欧洲音乐的scale and harmonic system,以及欧洲的乐器,另一方面被西非人影响它的演奏、演奏技巧scatting、emphasis on improvisation, group participation
p2 爵士乐是不是美国音乐之争。有的音乐学家认为爵士乐是纯粹的美国音乐,理由是发源于新奥尔良。别的音乐学家认为爵士乐根植于和美国自身一样的历史,一种民族和文化融合的历史。论证是美国的根基就在于它的多元化,否认爵士乐根植的复杂历史与缘由,就是在否认它的美国属性
