Jazz+subgenres

** Jazz began as Ragtime music and evolved into various types of jazz such as Dixieland, bebop, cool jazz, and free jazz. What is really interesting about Jazz is how multiple type of subgenres or jazz fusions emerged!
 * Jazz Subgenres

Jazz fusion is one of the notable fusions as it began in the late 1960s and managed to combine the rock rhythms with jazz improvisation. A lively jazz subgenre is Latin jazz, typically Afro-Cuban or Brazilian jazz. Both styles were a combination of African and Latin American music styles. Soul jazz is a very notable type that evolved from jazz and was strongly influenced by styles such as blues, gospel and rhythm and blues.
