Jazz
Jazz is a musical art form that originated in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States at around the start of the 20th century. Born out of a blend of African American musical styles with Western music technique and theory, Jazz uses blue notes, syncopation, swing, call and response, polyrhythms, and improvisation among its many stylistic markers.
