Jazz is about expression. This expression can take on many forms, as Jackson Pollock shows us here. Jazz does not fit into any real mold. It changes to any expression you want. In that case, jazz is limitless. Jazz is about sensuality, all that is beautiful and exciting in life. Anybody who listens to smooth jazz in particular can see that, but even in more traditional forms of jazz - there is still that incredibly exotic feeling behind it that chills you to the core. Jazz is about the dance. It's about feeling the rhythm. It's not just your feet, it's your whole body. That's what seperates jazz dancers like Savion Glover from the Riverdance, for example. It is a whole-body expression. Jazz is about voice. It takes a certain type of voice to sing jazz. It isn't operatic. It's not even all about the voice itself, but the style in which the singer invokes the lyrics. Their imagination creates jazz vocalise. Jazz is a creed. It is an obsession. It influences musicians on how to live their lives. It can both create and destroy legends. It can make people shiver. It's roots are New Orleans gospel and blues, thus drawing the contrast between the beauty of heaven and the rough terrain of the world. Most important, Jazz is life. It has been for over a century. From the beginnings in New Orleans with Jelly Roll Morton, and Louis Armstrong, to today's visionaries like Joshua Redman.
