Jazz is not only a style of music, but also a cultural development of America. As a combination of African rhythms, European harmonies, and experienced social life, jazz turned out to be an influential mode of expression, which was able to record the intricacies of a nation on the rise. Its spirit of improvisation reflects the concept of freedom, and its history is more profound and bears the stories of resilience, identity, and change. Jazz was passed on to other cities and even generations, but it made a silent impact on music, social attitudes, the expression of art, and even the image of American culture and itself.
