JAZZ: n, A form of music which is original and played by mentally superior musicians as opposed to rap or other low forms of verbal pornography and immature expressions of anger.
Also: To inject liveliness or spunk into something.
One of the greatest cd's of all time is "Kind Of Blue" by Miles.
Another is "Sugar" by Stanley Turrentine.
These are both excellent jazz cd's.

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.
