In this episode of Musical DNA, we explore the origins of jazz as one of the freest, most creative, and most transformative forms of music. We follow the crossing of cultures, rhythms, and sensibilities that gave it life, from its African American roots to its unique way of turning improvisation into language. We discover why swing, syncopation, and the conversation between musicians changed forever the way music is played and heard. We also look at how jazz left a massive mark on modern music. A story about the moment freedom found a sound.
