Jazz is known as one of the United State’s greatest gifts. Originating in African American communities of New Orleans and Louisiana from the late 19th to earlier 20th century, the Jazz music genre has roots in blues, ragtime, and a forward momentum called a swing. Many recognize its origins as a form of expression Black Artists used to fight against systemic oppression.\u202f <\/p>\n
Every June, a non-profit group known as Jazz Winnipeg organizes the Winnipeg International Jazz Festival, which features Canadian\/International musicians in several jazz genres. The goal is to further our appreciation for jazz music in Winnipeg’s cultural community. Many venues hold ticketed events for performances at the Burton Cummings Theatre and the Canadian Museum of Human Rights, but free concerts are available in the Old Market Square.\u202f <\/p>\n
