  • Way too difficult to define. Jazz is straight, swung, 4/4, 6/8, 3/4, etc., often syncopated, usually trading solos, sometimes loosely structured, sometimes fused with rock or even metal, expressed with a huge variety of instruments, etc. Perhaps the only universal truth in jazz is that it came about through the fusion of African and European traditions, a direct result of the transatlantic slave trade. One can find common claves in New Orleans jazz and Brazilian jazz and traditional West African music.
