World Jazz

World jazz is a dynamic and eclectic genre that fuses the improvisational essence of traditional jazz with diverse global musical influences. Rooted in the rich tapestry of cultural sounds, it often incorporates elements from Asian, African, Latin, Middle Eastern, and European music traditions. Artists like Coco Zhao and Takeo Moriyama bring unique regional flavors to the genre, integrating indigenous instruments and rhythms, while others like Ben Tiberio and Dejan Terzic weave in modern jazz harmonies and structures. This results in a vibrant and fluid soundscape where complex polyrhythms meet sophisticated melodies, crafting a truly global sound expression that transcends traditional musical boundaries.
