Jazz is a genre that emerged in the early 20th century, characterized by its use of swing and blue notes, call and response vocals, polyrhythms, and improvisation. It draws from a diverse range of influences, including African American musical traditions, blues, and ragtime. Jazz is defined by its complex harmonies and a strong emphasis on individual expression through improvisational solos. Over the decades, it has evolved through various styles, such as bebop, cool jazz, and fusion, each contributing to its rich and varied sound.
