Of course J.S.'s music was greatly influenced by his family environment, academic education, and faith, but are those considered "social conditions"? That's a rather broad definition---might as well say it springs from being alive! It also minimizes and trivializes the role the individual plays in the creation of his music. There are instances of two different people having very similar backgrounds, having grown up in the same neighborhood, gone to the same school, church, etc, whose music's are very different from one another's. Sure environment influences a musician's creations, but his music springs from his need to create, above all. Perhaps it's just semantics, ay?
One artist who sang not only Jazz, but also Jump Blues and Rock n' Roll, was Big Joe Turner. He's my favorite Blues shouter of them all, whom I feel fortunate to have seen/heard live in the 90's, backed by The Blasters. In the band at the time was Lee Allen, sax player on many classic recordings by Little Richard, Fats Domino, and many other early Rock n' Rollers. Fantastic show!
