In the early years of Jazz, and up until the Swing Era, the piano was still very much rooted in the rhythm section of the band. This approach was then further expanded upon by Bebop, which largely abandoned the original melody of the song to create brand new melodies based on an established chord progression – this was known as a contrafact. Instead of just embellishing the melody, he created a whole new melody based on the song’s harmony by arpeggiating the chords and adding further chord alterations and substitutions to make his solo more complex. Then, during the Swing Era, the sax player Coleman Hawkins changed the way jazz approached improvisation from melody to harmony ( horizontal to vertical). The embellishments gradually became more adventurous, but they were generally always played with the melody in mind. Up until the Swing Era ‘improvisation’ was essentially just playing the melody with some embellishments.

Swing was hugely popular – in fact, it was the pop music of the 1930’s. When you mentioned the word Jazz to the average person, they probably think of Swing music, and for good reason.
