Born in New Orleans, United States, the jazz arose from the interaction between the contradictions of America. Considered an innovation-based art, which reinvents itself as it’s created, jazz has in its particularity the freedom and improvisation between personal styles. Its simplicity, combined with contagious innovation, spontaneity, freshness of compositions, and the emotional genius of its improvisers, consolidated the essence of jazz. It was spread all over the world, and in Brazil, it could not be different.
