a modern (early 1900s) music style characterized by syncopation and dissonance. contrary to popular belief, jazz is NOT playing any note with any chord. any note played with any chord can be explained. even if it is inexplicable, it just sounds good, which is what's really important. the cool thing about jazz is that you learn all the rules and guidelines which apply to all the other genres...then you get to break them.
