Jazz

Jazz is a genre of music that originated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in African American communities in the Southern United States. It is characterized by syncopated rhythms, improvisation, and a wide variety of musical styles. Jazz is often seen as a combination of African and European musical influences, and it has been described as "America's classical music". Jazz has been an important influence on many other genres of music, including rock, pop, and hip hop.
