Backstage Musical
A backstage musical is a genre of musical with a plot set in a theatrical context that revolves around the production of a play or musical revue. The film's narrative trajectory often comes to a halt one or more times to allow a performance. The songs performed in this context are considered diegetic numbers in that they occur literally in the plot, though they do not necessarily move the story forward. The backstage musical was typified in the early films by director and choreographer Busby Berkeley, including '' 42nd Street'' (1933), '' Footlight Parade'' (1933), '' Dames'' (1934) and the ''Gold Diggers'' series ( 1933, 1935 and 1937), with examples in later films including ''Burlesque'' (2010) and A ''Star Is Born'' (2018). Stage musicals that themselves have elements of backstage musicals include ''Show Boat'' (1927), ''Kiss Me, Kate'' (1948), ''The Band Wagon'' (1953), ''Gypsy'' (1959), ''Cabaret'' (1966), ''Follies'' (1971), ''A Chorus Line'' (1975) and ''The Phantom of ...

Jazz
Jazz is a music genre that originated in the African-American communities of New Orleans, Louisiana in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with its roots in blues and ragtime. Since the 1920s Jazz Age, it has been recognized as a major form of musical expression in traditional and popular music. Jazz is characterized by swing and blue notes, complex chords, call and response vocals, polyrhythms and improvisation. Jazz has roots in European harmony and African rhythmic rituals. As jazz spread around the world, it drew on national, regional, and local musical cultures, which gave rise to different styles. New Orleans jazz began in the early 1910s, combining earlier brass band marches, French quadrilles, biguine, ragtime and blues with collective polyphonic improvisation. But jazz did not begin as a single musical tradition in New Orleans or elsewhere. In the 1930s, arranged dance-oriented swing big bands, Kansas City jazz (a hard-swinging, bluesy, improvis ...
