Jazz:
Jazz originated in the United States from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, and was born in the port city of New Orleans in the south of the United States. Its musical characteristics can be traced back to blues and ragtime. It can also be said that jazz is a "hybrid product" of the combination of white culture and African culture. The difference between jazz and other music types is that it is entirely based on improvisation and has the characteristics of swing. At the same time, this kind of music can reflect the strength and feelings of the early African-American people, and we can reflect the most original American style from jazz music.

Jazz saxophone style:
In the early jazz bands, clarinet and other instruments were generally used, and no one had ever used the chromatic wind to play jazz, because the chromatic wind was an instrument that was used to be placed in the military band when it was invented. However, when the performer Sidney Bechet used this instrument to play jazz, more people also saw the charm of jazz style. It is precisely because of its metallic timbre and changeable music style that saxophone has attracted more and more attention from the jazz music industry. Although saxophone was not born for jazz at the beginning of its invention, its timbre was originally very close to human voice, so the timbre of saxophone is very similar to human singing or narration, which is also very consistent with the improvisation style of jazz and can play the most unique musical charm of saxophone. The jazz industry also agrees that saxophone has promoted the development of jazz to a certain extent.
In modern jazz music industry, jazz style has become the main melody instrument in the band, and many people in the jazz industry believe that jazz and jazz style have become an inseparable combination.

You are too beautiful
My one and only one
In a sentimental mood
Dedicated to you
I’ll be there
I believe
The shadow of your smile
Together again
Autumn leaves
I didn’t know what time it was
Moonlight in Vermont
Minor vamp
Here in my heart
Turn out the light
Beautiful liar
Get there
Imagine that
