and early 20th centuries, with its roots in blues, ragtime, European
harmony, African rhythmic rituals, spirituals, hymns, marches, vaudeville
song, and dance music.What defines jazz music? Jazz is a kind of music in

performances, players play solos which they make up on the spot, which
requires considerable skill.

Why Jazz?
I was raised in a home where jazz filled the air, a genre that my father
cherished deeply. Sundays were especially memorable as I would cook while
the smooth melodies of jazz played in the background. The music seemed to
infuse my dishes with a special warmth, making them feel like they were
made with love and care. Although I was too young to fully understand the
depth of jazz at the time, I could always feel its magic. My favorite
instrument has to be the trumpet ๐บ it's majestic sound brings a unique
energy to every song, filling me with a sense of endless joy and lifting
my spirit. Jazz is not just a genre I love it's a part of who I am,
something I continually discover and appreciate as it evolves with me.
