Where it comes from
Jazz emerged in early twentieth-century New Orleans from blues, ragtime, and marching bands, then moved through the swing era, bebop, cool jazz, and fusion. Improvisation has remained its centre the whole way.

Jazz at a glance
What it sounds like
Ensembles range from a trio to a big band. The defining traits are improvised solos, extended harmony such as ninths, thirteenths, and substitutions, and a rhythm that floats rather than locks. Tempos stretch from 60 to 200 BPM, and a player’s individual voice matters more than arrangement precision.
What to make with it
Best for writing with breath and room to improvise: instrumental performance, swung grooves, and any setting that benefits from human unpredictability.
Where it gets used
Cafés and restaurants, hotel lobbies, urban and retro scenes in film. Jazz playlists on YouTube, slow-living content on Instagram, and late-night work listening on X lean on it heavily.
