What is Jazz? 

什么是爵士乐？

Jazz is a kind of music in which improvisation is typically an important part. In most jazz performances, players play solos when they make up on the spot, which requires considerable skill. There is tremendous variety in jazz, but most jazz is very rhythmic, has a forward momentum called "swing," and uses "bent" or "blue" notes. You can often hear "call--and--response"patterns in jazz, in which one instrument, voice, or part of the band answers another. Jazz can express many different emotions, from pain to sheer joy. 

爵士乐是一种音乐，即兴创作通常是很重要的一部分。在大多数的爵士表演中，演奏者在现场演奏时都会演奏独奏，这需要相当的技巧。爵士乐中有很多种类，但大多数爵士乐都很有节奏，有一种有前进气势的叫做“摇摆乐”，并使用“弯调”或“蓝调”音符。在爵士乐中，你经常可以听到“召唤——和——回应”的模式，其中一种乐器，声音，或乐队的一部分回答另一个。爵士乐可以表达许多不同的情感，从痛苦到纯粹的欢乐。

The nature of Jazz

爵士乐的本质

Jazz musicians place a high value on finding their own sound and style, and that means Jazz musicians like to play their songs in their own distinct styles, and so you might listen to a dozen different jazz recordings of the same song, but each will sound different. The musicians' playing styles make each version different, and so do the improvised solos. Jazz is about making something familiar--a familiar song--into something fresh. And about making something shared--a tune that everyone knows--into something personal. Those are just some of the reasons that jazz is a great art form, and why some people consider it "America's classical music."

爵士乐手在寻找自己的声音和风格上有很高的价值，这意味着爵士音乐家喜欢用自己独特的风格演奏他们的歌曲，所以你可能会听一打同一首歌不同的爵士乐录音，但每个都听起来不同。音乐家的演奏风格使每一个版本都不同，即兴独奏也不同。爵士乐是把熟悉的东西变成新鲜的东西。把一些大家都知道的东西变成私人的东西。这就是爵士乐是一种伟大的艺术形式的原因，也是为什么有些人认为它是“美国的古典音乐”。

Here’s a short piece of Jazz music for you to enjoy~
