Cool Jazz is a style of jazz music that emerged in the late 1940s and early 1950s. It is characterized by a relaxed, laid-back sound, with a focus on subtlety and nuance rather than intense improvisation. Cool Jazz often features a light, airy tone, with a moderate tempo and light swing feel. It is often played with a small ensemble, featuring instruments such as the trumpet, saxophone, piano, and double bass. Cool Jazz is often seen as a bridge between traditional jazz and more modern styles such as bebop and hard bop.
