Jazz music originated in
the early 1910’s in New Orleans and is a mix of African and European music
traditions. The instruments used to set the tone of this popular genre are wind
instruments like saxophones, trombones and trumpets mixed with piano tunes,
bass guitars and even the banjo. There are other derivatives to Jazz which
include Rhythm and Blues, Rock and Roll, Reggae and some good ol’ fashioned
Funk.
In
Second Life you can find clubs of all genres, but Jazz seems to be one of the
most popular on the grid. I recently interviewed Gringo Miles, a resident that
rezzed on the scene in 2007 and describes himself as an iron fist in a silk glove.
He admits to never winning a popularity contest but can be one of the more
honorable men you may ever meet. He’s straight to the point and handles his own
business. Meet Gringo Miles
