Jazz is a genre of music that originated in the early 20th century in African American communities in the United States. It is characterized by improvisation, syncopated rhythms, and a strong emphasis on individual expression. Jazz has a rich history and has evolved over time, incorporating elements of blues, swing, bebop, and fusion. Some of the most notable figures in jazz include vocalists known for their unique phrasing and emotive delivery, as well as instrumentalists who pushed the boundaries of the genre with their technical virtuosity and innovative compositions.
