Jazz is a musical art form which originated at the beginning of the 20th century
in African American communities in the Southern United States from a confluence
of African and European music traditions. The style's West African pedigree is
evident in its use of blue notes, improvisation, polyrhythms, syncopation, and
the swung note.
From its early development until the present, jazz has also incorporated music
from 19th and 20th century American popular music. The word jazz began as a West
Coast slang term of uncertain derivation and was first used to refer to music in
Chicago in about 1915.
Jazz has, from its early 20th century inception, spawned a variety of subgenres,
from New Orleans Dixieland dating from the early 1910s, big band-style swing
from the 1930s and 1940s, bebop from the mid-1940s, a variety of Latin jazz
fusions such as Afro-Cuban and Brazilian jazz from the 1950s and 1960s,
jazz-rock fusion from the 1970s and late 1980s developments such as acid jazz,
which blended jazz influences into funk and hip-hop. As the music has spread
around the world it has drawn on local national and regional musical cultures,
its aesthetics being adapted to its varied environments and giving rise to many
distinctive styles.
