Dear Carol,
.....(第一段是私人的通信啦;)
As for the origin of rock 'n' roll, my understanding is that it came out of
blues and country (hillbilly) music. Often some music labeled "blues" sounds
just like rock 'n' roll (e.g. many songs by Muddy Waters, everything by
Hounddog Taylor), and a lot of rock 'n' roll is just blues redone by a rock
band (e.g. many songs by the Rolling Stones). Don't think it originally had
much to do with jazz. Jazz and blues are different, but related, types of
music, with jazz musicians often playing blues numbers, and blues musicians
much less often playing jazz numbers, though some blues artists have
incorporated some jazz elements into their blues.
至於搖滾樂的起源，就我的了解它是源自藍調和鄉村音樂(hillbilly)。有些音樂被冠上
“藍調”的樂風但常常聽起來卻是很搖滾的(例如很多 Muddy Waters 的歌曲以及
Hounddog Taylor 的一切創作)，而許多所謂的搖滾樂其實也不過是由搖滾樂團重新詮釋
之下的藍調(例如 the Rolling Stones 不少的歌曲)。不要把爵士誤解成和搖滾樂的源頭
有太大的關係。爵士和藍調是不同類型的音樂，但它們當然是相關的，因為爵士樂手
常常會玩藍調的調子節奏，而藍調的樂手相較之下就不那麼常去玩爵士的東西，雖然有些
藍調樂手會融合一些爵士的元素到他們的藍調裡。

Cheers!
