As jazz spread around the world, it drew on national, regional, and local musical cultures, which gave rise to different styles. New Orleans jazz began in the early 1910s, combining earlier brass-band marches, French quadrilles, biguine, ragtime and blues with collective polyphonic improvisation. In the 1930s, heavily arranged dance-oriented swing big bands, Kansas City jazz, a hard-swinging, bluesy, improvisational style and gypsy jazz (a style that emphasized musette waltzes) were the prominent styles. Bebop emerged in the 1940s, shifting jazz from danceable popular music toward a more challenging "musician's music" which was played at faster tempos and used more chord-based improvisation. Cool jazz developed near the end of the 1940s, introducing calmer, smoother sounds and long, linear melodic lines.
The mid-1950s saw the emergence of hard bop, which introduced influences from rhythm and blues, gospel, and blues, especially in the saxophone and piano playing. Modal jazz developed in the late 1950s, using the mode, or musical scale, as the basis of musical structure and improvisation, as did free jazz, which explored playing without regular meter, beat and formal structures. Jazz-rock fusion appeared in the late 1960s and early 1970s, combining jazz improvisation with rock music's rhythms, electric instruments, and highly amplified stage sound. In the early 1980s, a commercial form of jazz fusion called smooth jazz became successful, garnering significant radio airplay. Other styles and genres abound in the 2000s, such as Latin and Afro-Cuban jazz.

It is evening time on a sunday in Boston, and its raining outside. I have some sleepytime herbal tea brewed, this playing, and i am staring at the rain drops on my loft windows, while reading an interesting book on my desk.

I was supposed to go to a date but she canceled and left for another guy. I put on my slacks, tucked in my white dress shirt, rolled the sleeves up, and left the top two buttons undone. I parted my hair to the side with some gel, put some cologne on my wrists and my neck and played this jazz while sitting and enjoying a nice smoke with a small glass of red wine. After that i went and made myself a nice steak dinner. Ive never cooked before but I did a nice job creating my own recipe. I sat down at the head of my table with a nice dinner in front of me with a candle lit and a white napkin under my fresh silverware. I listened to the jazz and ate my food, remembering that i made a date for myself with myself. I feel handsome, calm, and classy. If you ever get left by yourself I suggest doing what i have done. Its very nice and makes anything better
-
With this playing, I feel like everything is going to be okay.

To anybody reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind may clarity replace confusion. may peace and calmness fill your life.

This makes me feel like I'm a main character in a show or movie walking through a city at night while it's raining thinking about my life or my love life. " Is this really what I want ? I don't know maybe it's just the way I'm overthinking, I already lost my job and my only best friend who was a dog died because he was sick , huh I dont even have a girlfriend, I think I should just go home and sleep " Puts hands in coat and walks away through the cold rainy night

I want to be in a coffee shop or cafe on a rainy day sitting near a window reading or studying with this playing in the background 😊☕

Feels like I’m New York City, on a cold winter night, snuggled up in my loft with significant other. The crackles of the fire place are music to our ears while the raindrops outside hits our rooftop.
-

This is my alternative to Lo-Fi. It's so calm, and it keeps me collected as I work through some of the most difficult times I have ever faced.

Daily reminder: You're not useless. You're not a dissapointment. You're not dumb. You're not different. You're not compared to anyone. Because... You're loved. You're strong. You're smart. You're beautiful inside and out. You're the best version of YOU there ever is. and you're human. I know you're going through a lot of stuff right now but it'll be okay. This life is a long journey. In a journey, there are ups and downs. If you ever go down, it doesn't mean you can't go back up. Rest easy and give yourself a treat :) I love you very very much and I just want you to know that.💕And when you go back up, you have that space in your heart that can help others back up, as well

If nobody got me, I know calm jazz got me. Can I get an amen?
-
When you play this on headphones at night life just hits different
-
If you are listening to this late at night. If you are feeling alone, down, or just feeling a heavy weight on your shoulders. Just know you are loved.

This is some good ole' fashioned brandy sipping, mind emptying, deep sighing "take a load off, chief" kinda music. God what a relaxing vibe. I needed this.
