Jazz is a type of lively music with strong, complex rhythms.
It was first played at the beginning of the 20th century by black musicians in New Orleans, Louisiana. Jazz musicians often accent or add notes or beats in unusual or unexpected places.
They make up tunes as they play. Jazz music has changed, and today there are many different forms of Jazz.
