Answer to Question 1

 Today the blues music-culture embraces people from all over the world. Blues has become a mass-mediated popular music presented outside its original African-American cultural setting.

Answer to Question 2

 The roots music' phenomenon which included blues emerged as a descriptive term to describe 21^st-century American vernacular and ethnic musicsincluding, for example, blues, hillbilly, country, zydeco, Cajun, Tejano, Native American, and rockabilly as the major forms of roots music. (WOM also lists other examples of roots music, see p. 140). The roots music artist is urbane, commercially oriented, and self-consciously identifies her/himself with a musical tradition. Roots music focuses on themes about gender/class relationships, regional/historical issues, and racial/ethnic tensions.
 By contrast folk music was associated with rural farm villages and performed by illiterate, untrained musicians. The folk musician regarded the music s/he played as simply the music of the community without regard to labeling its category (genre).

Answer to Question 3

 a (tenor) saxophone, which finishes an improvised solo at 3:57.
