Jazz Butterfly 1973 Long Sleeve T-Shirt

Jazz is a music genre that originated in the African-American communities of New Orleans, Louisiana, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with its roots in blues and ragtime. Since the 1920s Jazz Age, it has been recognized as a major form of musical expression in traditional and popular music. Much like the erratic flight of a butterfly, jazz does not have a set style, but rather many styles, which leaves the definition of jazz hard to lock down. Without set rules they have to follow, a jazz musician can play various styles, and since jazz can be played with a variety of instruments, this only adds to the confusion of defining the genre.
