Austrian Jazz

Austrian Jazz is a style of jazz music that originated in Austria in the early 20th century. It is characterized by its use of traditional Austrian folk music elements, such as waltzes, polkas, and marches, as well as its incorporation of classical music elements, such as counterpoint and fugue. Austrian Jazz is often played in a small ensemble setting, with instruments such as the accordion, clarinet, and double bass. It is often characterized by its light, melodic, and often humorous sound.
