Question

How did African american slaves influence jazz.

Answer 1

Answer:

American musicians, historians, critics and listeners alike take pride in jazz, birthed in multicultural New Orleans. Many consider it to be the greatest and most original American export to the world.

Historians trace the origins of jazz to a number of different cultures and societal influences that converged in 19th-century New Orleans. Most significant was the import of men and women from Africa and the West Indies, taken as slaves for Colonial America, along with the refugees who fled Hispaniola to escape the bloodshed of the Haitian Revolution.
