Another musical genre created by African-Americans, the blues, has heavily influenced jazz as well as rock and roll. About one third of jazz is in blues form with twelve measures in a song and uses ---"blue notes", the flatted third, fifth, and seventh notes of the musical scale. Jazz has inspired everything from slang such as “cool” and “jazzy”; to dance styles such as tap and swing; to art forms such as filmmaking and beat poetry. Its dynamic nature and strong individual performers have also given rise to different branches of jazz.
非洲裔美國(guó)人所創(chuàng)的另一種音樂類型──藍(lán)調(diào)，對(duì)爵士樂和搖滾樂都有深遠(yuǎn)的影響。大約有三分之一的爵士樂采用藍(lán)調(diào)形式，一首歌有12小節(jié)，使用“藍(lán)音”，即把第三、五、七個(gè)音階降半音（如Ｃ大調(diào)的Ｅ、Ｇ、Ｂ）。爵士樂激發(fā)了各種靈感，如：從俚語中的“酷”和“奔放”兩個(gè)詞，到舞蹈風(fēng)格中的踢跶舞和搖擺舞（即興爵士舞），以及電影制片和節(jié)拍詩(shī)等藝術(shù)形式。爵士樂富有活力的性質(zhì)和有很強(qiáng)感染力的個(gè)人表演者也導(dǎo)致了不同流派爵士樂的產(chǎn)生。
