In my opinion, jazz is important to America because it's a type of music uniquely developed here. It's important because it represents the contribution of music from slaves brought here from Africa, and blended with European music. I think it developed here because the different elements were present at the right time.Jazz provided them with an outlet. Jazz also provided jobs for women in the music industry and allowed social acceptance of female musicians. As we said before, fashion was changing, and the younger generation was on board with the new look.The distinctive elements of jazz include characteristic rhythm patterns, harmonic practices related to, but not identical with, functional harmony, and the practice of improvisation. Jazz has influenced, and has been influenced by, traditional classical music and popular music.
