Music is the result of thought in the form of attitude. There is no one way of thinking, since men’s values are as scattered and dissimilar as individual men themselves. If black music can be seen as the result of certain attitudes, certain specific ways of thinking about the world, then my basic hypothesis about music is understood. The black man’s music changed as the changed, reflecting shifting attitudes or consistent attitudes within changing contexts. It is why the music changing seems most important to me.
When jazz first began to appear on the American scene during the twenties, in one form or another, it was introduced in many instances by white Americans. Yet its original conception and its most vital development were the result of certain attitudes, or experiential ideas, attributable to the Afro-American culture. Jazz as played by white musicians was not the same as that played by black musicians nor was there any reason for it to be. The music of the white jazz musician was, at its most profound, a learned art.
The blues, for example, which I take to be an independent black music, was practically ignored in pre-jazz white American culture. Blues is an extremely important part of jazz. However, the way in which jazz utilizes the blues "attitude" provided a musical analogy the white musician could understand, and thus he could arrive at a style of jazz music. The white musician understood the blues first as music, but seldom as an attitude, since the attitude of the white musician was necessarily quite a different one. And in many cases, it was not consistent with the making of jazz.
Thus, the trumpets(小号)of Bix Beiderbecke and Louis Armstrong were very dissimilar. The white middle-class boy from Iowa was an inborn intellectual and had an emotional life that was based on his conscious or unconscious disapproval of most of the custom of his culture. On the other hand, Armstrong was, in terms of an emotional model, an honored priest of his culture. He was not rebelling against anything with his music. The incredible irony of the situation was that both stood in similar places in the superstructure of American society: Beiderbecke, because of his isolation and departure from mass culture; and Armstrong, because of the socio-historical separation of the black man from the rest of American.
What is the relationship between blues and jazz in American culture?
选项
A、Jazz places more emphasis on Afro-American culture than does the blues.
B、Jazz changes the attitudes of white musicians toward Afro-American culture.
C、Jazz is based on the blues attitude, but expressed in comprehensible manners to white musicians.
D、Jazz must be understood in order to be played, whereas the blues must be learned.
答案
C
解析
题干问的是两种音乐的关系,第三段第二、三句提到了二者的关系:布鲁斯是爵士乐非常重要的一个部分,然而,爵士乐所运用的布鲁斯“态度”是白人音乐家能理解的,这样他才创造了爵士乐。expressed in comprehensible manners to white musicians和文章中provided a musical analogy the white musician could understand同义,可知C)为答案。考生应注意文章中extremely这样的强烈表达和however这样的转折句,通常易为考点。A)与文章意思相反;D)的表达不准确。
