The followingoutline is provided as an overview of and a topical guide to jazz:

Jazz – a musical style that originated at the beginning of the 20th century in African American communities in the Southern United States, mixingAfrican music and European classical music traditions.

Jazz is amusic genre that originated from African American communities ofNew Orleans in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It emerged in the form of independenttraditional andpopular musical styles, all linked by the common bonds of African American andEuropean American musical parentage with a performance orientation.^[1]

Jazz spans a period of over a hundred years, encompassing a very wide range of music, making it difficult to define. Jazz makes heavy use ofimprovisation,polyrhythms,syncopation and theswing note,^[2] as well as aspects of European harmony,American popular music,^[3] thebrass band tradition, and African musical elements such asblue notes and African-American styles such asragtime.^[1]

Although the foundation of jazz is deeply rooted within the black experience of the United States, different cultures have contributed their own experience and styles to the art form as well. Intellectuals around the world have hailed jazz as "one of America's original art forms".^[4]

As jazz spread around the world, it drew on different national, regional, and local musical cultures, which gave rise to many distinctive styles.New Orleans jazz began in the early 1910s, combining earlier brass-band marches, Frenchquadrilles,biguine, ragtime andblues with collectivepolyphonic improvisation.

In the 1930s, heavily arranged dance-orientedswing big bands,Kansas City jazz, a hard-swinging, bluesy, improvisational style andGypsy jazz (a style that emphasizedmusette waltzes) were the prominent styles.Bebop emerged in the 1940s, shifting jazz from danceable popular music towards a more challenging "musician's music" which was played at faster tempos and used more chord-based improvisation.Cool jazz developed in the end of the 1940s, introducing calmer, smoother sounds and long, linear melodic lines.

The 1950s saw the emergence offree jazz, which explored playing without regular meter, beat and formal structures, and in the mid-1950s,hard bop emerged, which introduced influences from rhythm and blues,gospel, and blues, especially in the saxophone and piano playing.Modal jazz developed in the late 1950s, using themode, or musical scale, as the basis of musical structure and improvisation.

Jazz-rock fusion appeared in the late 1960s and early 1970s, combining jazz improvisation with rock music's rhythms, electric instruments and highly amplified stage sound. In the early 1980s, a commercial form of jazz fusion calledsmooth jazz became successful, garnering significant radio airplay. Other styles and genres abound in the 2000s, such asLatin andAfro-Cuban jazz.
