Frequently Asked Questions
Jazz and swing are very similar in style; both upbeat and rhythmical. However, swing tends to be less instrumental and was developed for dancing purposes. Blues on the other hand is more lyrical and expresses emotions of sadness.
Typically, a jazz band will contain around 3-6 members although this isn’t a written rule and can vary depending on the act and the lineups they offer. Instruments played within a jazz band also vary but tend to include horns such as saxophone and trombone, clarinet, piano, double bass and drums.
A jazz musician will have their own repertoire that contains the basic jazz standards. These are songs that are performed by virtually all jazz musicians worldwide and form the basis of jazz arrangements and improvisations.
