Jazz is an improvisational music genre born in early 20th-century African American communities, characterized by syncopated rhythms, swing feel, and blue notes. Musicians spontaneously create melodies over chord progressions, making each performance unique. It ranges from intimate vocals to complex instrumental arrangements.
