[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go-go is sort of akin to rap/dance music, but it's mostly live recordings (not much studio recorded stuff), and the instruments are different.  It's not all electronic - people actually play instruments.  They use drums, bells, & congos, and I'm thinking a keyboard.

Jazz, I don't like it, but I'm thinking that's drums, bass guitar, and maybe a trumpet and/or saxophone.  And, this is key, I think most jazz has no vocals at all - it's all instrumental, and pretty peppy in tempo.  Picture New Orleans.

Blues, this is a slower genre, and to me it's akin to like a slow, heartfelt motown-ish music (maybe somebody else could describe it better - I think BB King is/was very popular).  I'm thinking of the sax again too.[/quote]

PP here again.  Thanks for these descriptions.  They do help.  It would make sense that go-go was mostly live recordings, then, bc I never have really paid attn to these and really just turned on the radio (or listened to CDs or other widely-recognized music in a genre I won't id for fear of outing myself to other dcum readers).  But suffice it to say:  live music or even live recordings?  yeah, completely off my radar screen.  So that does make sense.

Thank you also for trying to explain what gg is as relative to other types of music.  That did help a little too.  Appreciate your replies.  Thank you!  [/quote]
