Style overview

Jazz is built on improvisation and interaction: harmony assembled from sevenths, ninths and higher extensions, rhythm carrying a triplet-based swing, and players composing in real time inside an agreed framework. It is less a fixed sound than a language for musicians to converse in, spanning everything from swing-era big bands to free atonality.

Sound characteristics

Tempo: Broad range: ballads at 60–90 BPM, swing at 120–200 BPM, free passages with no fixed pulse
Time signature: Mostly 4/4, with swing rendering paired eighth notes long-short in roughly triplet proportion; 3/4 and 5/4 also appear
Instrumentation: Piano, upright bass and drums as the rhythm section core; saxophone, trumpet and trombone carry heads and solos
Vocals: Ranges from instrumental-style scat improvisation to ballad singing built on diction and breath placement; the voice is treated as another solo instrument
Song structure: The classic form runs head, rotating improvised solos, then head again; solo lengths are determined in performance

Use cases

Fine dining and bar atmospheres
Retro and period film and television
Advertising with a refined tone
Late-night programming
Café and bookshop background

FAQ

What exactly is swing feel?: Paired eighth notes are played long-short rather than evenly, in roughly the proportion of the first two notes of a triplet. That inequality produces jazz's characteristic forward lilt. Prompting "swing feel, uneven eighth notes" is far more specific than asking for something "jazzy."
How do I get real solo sections when generating jazz?: Specify the structure: "head, then thirty-two bars of saxophone improvisation, then a piano solo, then return to the head." Rotating solos are the soul of the form, and without instruction systems tend to deliver a single fixed arrangement.
How does jazz relate to jazz funk and smooth jazz?: Jazz is the umbrella, prizing improvisation and harmonic complexity. Jazz funk imports funk's syncopated groove, making the rhythm harder and more regular. Smooth jazz reduces improvisation and dissonance in favor of an agreeable background listen. Improvisation: jazz. Groove: jazz funk. Background: smooth jazz.
