If you listen to Jazz, you may see or hear brass instruments, woodwind instruments, stringed instruments, and vocalists. You can most likely hear instruments like piano, saxophone, clarinet, trumpet, etc. instruments like that. Jazz is a very unique type or style of music. It's different because of things like scatting, which is pretty much singing a few nonsense words that go with the melody. It's kind of like when you don't remember the words of a song and you just say a bunch of random word. Although, when you scat, you sing a bunch of random syllables. another thing that's different about Jazz music is how the musicians improvise. Improvisation is when the musician plays the same melody of the song that the band is playing, but kind of makes up the rest of the song along the way. You can probably tell when the musician is improvising on stage because, maybe he or she will most likely look at the audience instead of their sheet music.
Today, jazz is stilled played by many people. Jazz has also been combined with other genres like pop, rock, alternative music, hip-hop, and metal. Some people even say that Jazz will never die.
