This origin can be traced back to Shanghai, Dalian and Chongqing during the Republic of China. You can hear musicians playing jazz in the street, not to mention nightclubs in Shanghai.
This phenomenon is more serious in Shanghai. This lazy and happy music form has greatly changed the values and outlook on life of young people in Shanghai. Maybe that's how Shanghai Koehler came from. As a result, many domestic musical instrument industries began to rise, especially the manufacturing and processing industries.
In the final analysis, the influence of jazz on China music should be absent at present.
Artists (Teresa Teng, Steven Liu, Wang Mingquan, etc. Who started China's pop music fell into a trough in the late 1990s, and then the western R&; B Music, as the backbone of the market, continues to this day.
At present, jazz has been underground in China. Musicians who have released albums are silent because their sales are not good. Those who haven't released albums are running around the bar.
Wang Ruolin is an original jazz singer who surfaced, but her original jazz songs are only a few, and most of them cover other people's works with blues.
This is my view on the development of jazz in China.
There is no doubt that jazz still had a considerable market in China from the Republic of China until World War II.
