Tag: Ethnic Jazz

Ethnic Jazz (also known as ethno jazz or world jazz) is a subgenre of jazz that fuses traditional jazz structures, improvisation, and harmonic complexity with melodic, rhythmic, and instrumental elements from various ethnic and folk music traditions around the world. This hybrid style emphasizes experimentation, often incorporating non-Western scales, polyrhythms, and acoustic instruments alongside standard jazz instruments, creating a globalized sound that transcends cultural boundaries.
