Born in New Orleans, United States, jazz emerged from the interaction between the contradictions of America. Jazz is considered an art based on innovation, reinventing itself as it is created. Jazz has freedom and improvisation for many personal styles. Its simplicity, combined with contagious innovation, spontaneity, freshness of compositions, and the emotional genius of its improvisers, has consolidated the essence of jazz. Jazz has spread all over the world, and in Brazil, its presence is well known.
