jazz music

Jazz is a type of music that started in the United States and is a mix of blues, ragtime, and African-American spirituals. It has a lot of improvisation, which means that each musician makes up their own part of the song as they go along. Jazz also involves call and response, which is when a singer sings a line and then the instruments or other singers answer or repeat it. It also has special rhythms, like swing or shuffle, which make it different from other kinds of music.
