often called the "father of jazz," always spoke with deference,
bordering on awe, of his musical roots, and with especial devotion of

Jazz 2
.... did stay the same. Once the dynamic becomes louder the texture takes a different turn. What is quince about this piece is the how all the instruments play the same tempo. The volume does not change as much as in the other pieces. When the tempo slows the violin and the flutes would take over. As the volume gets louder more instruments join in.

However, the country also suffered several great losses, and had some hardships.
The 60's were still a time of racial .....

.... practice of this martial art spread across Europe, the spelling and pronunciation was forced to change. This occurred during World War II, when the name Jujitsu had to be changed to Jiu-jitsu (pronounced Jeeu-jitsu). This name-change occurred because the Germans occupying the area at the time claimed that the name resembled the word “Jew”, which was illegal to be spoken. Therefore the name was slightly altered so that the art could continue to exist and be taught throughout Europe.
