Let it snow………..Let it snow……………Let it snow………….(Frank Sinatra- American Singer for Traditional Pop, Classic Pop, Easy listening Jazz and Swing Vocal Jazz)
Jazz music genre originated from African-American music in late 19th and early 20th century in New Orleans, Louisiana. This genre developed in New York in late 1920s. This genre allows musicians to play same music night after night, but with different notes.
Psychology behind Jazz
According to a study of jazz musicians, by two John Hopkins professors, jazz musicians improvise during their music rendition and let self expression flow freely. They allow self-censoring the inhibition and introspection. This is done as they turn-off a dorsolateral prefrontal and lateral orbital region of brain and turn-on medial prefrontal cortex region, to create and render jazz music.
They take over their audience by creative spontaneity, expression and innovation, so that they create an environment, where everyone is filled with, their soulful improvisations of blues, romance and miseries combined with infectious rhythms!
