Jazz is a uniquely Afro-American music form whose freshness and expressiveness are indebted to the free use of the human voice and exploitation of instrumental resources, …and improvisation. Historical links can be found to Black and Creole music of New Orleans, Latin America, Europe and West Africa. Jazz musicians share a rhythmic sense tied to the fundamental beat, improvisation, technique, and a group spirit marked by freedom and spontaneity. Usually jazz cannot be entirely transferred to music paper; more a matter of rendering. Jazz is a passionate thing for millions of music lovers.
