Jazz pop is a genre that combines the sophistication of jazz with the accessibility of popular music, characterized by smooth vocals, catchy melodies, and a blend of acoustic and electronic instrumentation. Emerging in the 1990s, jazz pop drew on the Great American Songbook, swing, and bossa nova traditions, with artists incorporating elements of soul, R&B, and folk to create a distinctive sound. Often featuring lush piano or guitar accompaniment, walking bass lines, and subtle horn sections, jazz pop's laid-back, intimate atmosphere has captivated audiences worldwide. This genre has been instrumental in introducing jazz to a broader audience, making it a cultural phenomenon that has influenced contemporary music scenes. Its unique blend of retro flair and modern sensibilities has set jazz pop apart from other styles, making it a staple of coffee shops, lounges, and upscale events, while also resonating with listeners seeking sophisticated, yet approachable, music.
