However, my favourite music style is jazz. It cheers me up in any situation. I know that jazz originated in the late 19th century in New Orleans, USA. This genre includes the features of improvisation, polyrhythm, swing, syncopation and African blues. It quickly spread around the world and today millions of people are fans of jazz. One of the most famous musicians in this style was Louis Armstrong. Nowadays, there are so many new styles in jazz culture. For example, jazz rap, jazz rock, Latin jazz, etc. The core of jazz music is the element of improvisation. It is impossible to make a good jazz music without it. However, the approach to improvisation differs from state to state. The commonly used instruments to play jazz music are saxophone, piano, double bass, clarinet and some others. I especially like when each performer in a band plays solo.
