What is Jazz?
Jazz is improvisation-based music. It originated in New Orleans by mixing different styles of older music styles. The original Jazz music was primarily influenced by West African rhythms. It was a mix of ragtime, blues, folk, negro spirituals and French marches. In the heyday of Jazz, the Swing era was the most popular. At that time, Jazz was mostly dancing music. Jazz later evolved into a more experimental type of music. Entirely new genres of music were formed from Jazz, such as Soul, R & B, funk and pop.
