Elements Of Jazz


What is jazz?
It is not my intention to give a complete definition of jazz or to say precisely what is jazz and what is not. Instead, I describe various elements of jazz individually. Some elements may be more important than other elements. For example, the general consensus is that swing rhythm and improvisation are the two most important elements of jazz. There are many who will not consider a performance jazz if it contains no improvisation, and others who will not consider it jazz if it does not fit their concept of swing. I believe there is no exact formula by which one can evaluate a piece of music to determine if it is jazz, nor do I believe it is particularly important to be able to label music in this manner. After reading the following chapters, however, you should be able recognize elements of jazz when you hear them and decide for yourself what they mean to you.
