(none)

A much too broad term for music.

Charlie Parker and Kenny G are both called "jazz" musicians, yet they sound nothing alike. That is because "jazz" is not a genre of music, it is a general term that refers to any kind of music that contains chords or rythms that are more complicated than that of conventional pop music.
Various Jazz genres are "ragtime", "bebop", "swing", "latin", "lounge", "funk", "blues", "fusion", etc.

capitalist

One who believes in or practices capitalism.

Believes he/she should make as much money as inhumanly possible by any means necessary--or unnecessary. Commonly followed by "pig".

Capitalists are not sympathetic to the poor because they believe that because THEY became rich, anyone can. They believe that poor people are just lazy.

the democratic party 

A very slightly less right-wing version of the Republican Party.
The Democratic and Republican Party might as well merge and call it the Capitolist Party.

Ralph Nader

Perhaps the most misunderstood politician in the United States. The so-called "liberal" has written books on how to SAVE money and spend your money wisely.
Ralph Nader is a true progressive.

capitolist 

One who believes one should make as much money as inhumanly possible by any means necessary. Commonly followed by "pig".

Capitolists are not sympathetic to the poor because they believe that because THEY became rich, anyone can. They believe that poor people are just lazy.
That capitolist pig!

improvisation 

To make something up on the spot.

Improvisation is common in jazz music, when a musician makes up a solo spontaneously, as opposed to playing a written solo.

Sometimes a group of musicians will completely improvise an entire song. This is done almost exclusively by jazz musicians.

All forms of art can be improvised. Art that is improvised may be called "free" or "freestyle", like "free poetry".

A popular form of improvisation is rapping, or flowing.
Miles Davis was a master of improvisation.
