I'm not sure exactly. It uses swing and blue notes. It also uses vocals with call and response, as well as polyrhythms and improvisation.
Yes, Jazz uses a lot of blue notes, but also swing notes aswell.
Jazz is some of my favorite music, since it's so interesting and relaxing. That's nice. Were you aware that jazz came out in the late 1800s and early 1900s? I didn't realize it was that long ago! So how did jazz music come about? It originated in New Orleans in the late 19th century. Cool, what community of people created it? It originated from the African-American community. I thought so, wasn't it similar to how the blues was made?
Jazz is characterized by swing and blue notes, call and response vocals, polyrhythms and improvisation.
