__Jazz's Influence Today __

When listening to modern music, you might notice a single instrument play for an extended period. These solos have their roots in jazz improvisation. Improvisation is nothing more than a spontaneous melody. Jazz musicians structure their songs to allow for these improvised melodies. When you listen to an instrumental solo--whether guitar or keyboard--by a modern band, you are listening to a jazz concept. <[]>

__Rock n Roll and Blues Influence__

Rock and roll emerged in the 1950s as an outgrowth of the blues. For a while, the two genres could be difficult to separate. Early rock and roll often used the same chord progressions as the blues and had a similar "one-TWO-three-FOUR" rhythmic approach. Rock and roll eventually emerged as a genre with louder drumming, lyrics designed to appeal to young audiences, and, sometimes, a pronounced country music influence. Rock music today often (although not always) uses chord progressions that are distinct from the blues but usually retains its basic rhythmic feel.

Elvis Presley's impact on pop culture
Elvis wasn’t the first to sing in a rock ’n’ roll style, so he can’t be credited with inventing it. But, his version of this new music became widely popular during the mid-1950s. He spread rock ’n’ roll music across the country, making it popular to a wide audience, especially teenagers. In that regard, he was a true innovator.
