paragraph about jazz funerals for a school
English-language newspaper.Last century jazz funerals were quite common in New Orleans. Jazz funerals were held mainly for black people. On the way from the church to the graveyard, musicians would play slow, sad music but on the way back they would play happy, lively music, and the people would sing and dance. This was their way of celebrating the life of the dead person. Nowadays traditional jazz funerals are only held for famous jazz musicians.Sample writingHomeworkPreview the reading text George’s Diary 12 the-14th June on page 8 and Louis Armstrong: The Grandfather of Jazz on page 51.
