Comparison Of Jaz And Lil Buck

Kayla Harry

I feel for Jaz and Lil’ buck they had similar beginnings, influenced and developed from different things, along with starting out being popular on the streets. There was nothing to really base them off of when they started so they had to learn as they went. There were things and people before them that helped such as blues and ragtime for jazz, and his sister and friends for Lil’ Buck. The origins of both are in the south. For jazz and Lil Buck imprecision seems to be a key things. Now jazz is much more structured. Lil Buck has developed his talent so to us it may seem everywhere and very fluid, but him it is structured but still improvised which makes it new and interesting for the viewers. Like jazz Lil Buck people enjoy the experience

of it all which I think has to do with the difficulty of the techniques used for both. Jazz music seems as if it is moving freely doing its own things, which is the same as the dances Buck does. Most of the time jazz is upbeat but just like all music it has different styles with those styles Buck can and just and dance to pretty much anything such as classical songs like, The Dying Swan. Jazz and Buck are doing something different that the norms particularly when jazz started it wasn’t something had particularly hear of. Bucks dance style isn’t a well know one by many so it was different than what most people thought of dancing but still very intricate that it was admired by others. They were probably very fascinated but confused when first seeing and hearing both, but it worked out for the best. Lil Buck and jazz can both be recognized as forms of self –expression of which you can see in the passion from Buck and anyone who hears a jazz song. Now jazz is a well know genre in music and Buck has been recognized by many people. Such as the styles of dancing Buck does is hard to define the same goes for jazz sense they both incorporate so many different musical and dance aspects. But something that can be concluded is that they are both works of art.
