Jazz is a musical genre that originated with the African-American slave population of the southern United States in the late 19th century. It has its origins in African tribal music and is closely related to genres such as blues, Cajun music and zydeco. Jazz is also distinguished by its rhythmic style, called swing, and by the role of improvisation in its music, which means that no two jazz songs are exactly the same.

Once the activity is over, you'll be able to get tips and recommendations from your guide for other jazz bars and venues worth visiting. An ideal activity for music lovers .
