At the root of jazz is the blues, the folk music of former African slaves in the U.S. South and their descendants, heavily influenced by West African cultural and musical traditions, that evolved as fl musicians migrated to the cities.
Early jazz influences found their first mainstream expression in the marching band and dance band music of the day, which was the standard form of popular concert music at the turn of century.
When the jazz musician approaches a song that does not have any kind of chord progression (such as twelve bar blues or rhythm changes) and a mode isn't easily identifiable, then he or she can look at specific areas of the piece and identify chord changes that relate to a specific scale or mode.
