For a bit of culture, or a different outlook on music from what you generally listen too, Mohammed Babangida can bring you some information about the influences of different styles and variations of music from around the world...
Sometimes cultural music/worldly styles/classical or band instrumentals can be different from our pop/rock, R&B, or rap music that is found and often listed to here in the United States. It can be a great learning experience to see that there are other styles and instruments that exist besides the average ones that we hear in our country.
Mohammed Babangida explains of music from Dixieland that has is inspired from New Orleans. Dixie Land consists of big band like music that involves trumpets, trombones,
clarinets (my personal fav--i played this in school!), a piano, and drums.
Mohammed Babangida describes Dixieland as "bouncy," and is "full of flair".
He then goes on to explain bout Be-Bop, West Coast Cool Jazz, Hard Jazz, Third Stream, Free Jazz, Bossa Nova, Fusion, and Neo-Classical. If you would like to learn more about different types of music, perhaps you could read his blog ... And then there's always google to search for the sounds of these types!...
You never know--you just might find a new favorite style that could inspire you!
