Crossover music

I will talk about Crossover music in this post.
I like classical music very much because classical music is like ground where we can build up the buildings. These days, many kind of music have been occured such as Jazz, Rock, Blues, Electronica, Pops, Metals and etc. Have you wondered about the origin of music at least once in your life?

The true value of classical music is in "record". There have been numerous kind of music in history, but most of them don't have any material. But in case of classical music, there is a score, written material about what is music and definition. Because of those firm, solid basis, we could listen to various kind of music.

Individual genre of music has a clear definition. So, we can devide or decide that is certain kind of music when we are listening music. We can't judge definitely when the music is very similar genre in some cases, such as Acid Jazz and Blues.
But we can devide which is Rock and Jazz.

Among them, I want to deal with Crossover music today.

According to Wikipedia, Crossover is a term applied to musical works or performers appearing on two or more of the record charts which track differing musical tastes, or genres.[1] If the second chart combines genres, such as a "Hot 100" list, the work is not acrossover.

The clear definition is, Crossover music is a genre of mixture more than two kind of music. Why is so important?

Just think about the Jazz. Usually, when we think about Jazz, it is not so energetic and powerful. Normal perception could be a medium tempo but sometimes fast, and somewhat boring. But in case of Crossover Jazz, this is different.

I want to recommend Casiopea's "Domino line" today.

I wish you can feel the difference and love this crossover music.
And my comment is, the motive of classical music is used in this crossover music!
If you can find any classical motives, please make a comment!
