Jazz is a genre of music that was developed in the early 20th century. It is widely characterized by intense improvisation on the music with distinctive beats, performance techniques, and syncopated patterns. What makes it different from other music forms is that the musicians can play with their unique sound and style on the instruments they play or the songs the singers perform. As Smithsonian Institution puts it, "jazz makes something familiar, like a song, into something fresh." Amazon recommends these new releases of jazz music in their store. Immerse and soothe yourself more into "America's classical music" with these five selected albums. The 12-track LP is the fourth studio album by jazz singer Madeleine Peyroux.
