The Coolness of Jazz

I hope you guys are as excited about Black Music Month as I am!! Like I said on my insta story, this week is all about Jazz music! I wanted to start out with Jazz because it’s the foundation of the music that I like to listen to. A lot the sounds and genres that I love point back to Jazz music. AND Jazz would not exist without Black people which brings us back to #blackmusicmonth lol

I like how exciting Jazz is. I love that it can be unpredictable at times and still make sense. In life, I like everything to go a certain way but through Jazz I’ve learned that sometimes it’s okay to try new things. Even if it’s as simple as expanding the type of music I listen to or curating a playlist with a mix of different genres. In that respect, I feel like Jazz points to the future of music. Jazz artists have been drawing on different influences and combining different styles for ages and that is something we hear a lot of now. I really believe Jazz is important to music as a whole and we have Black people to thank for that!
