Jazz Pop
Jazz pop is music that mixes pop songwriting with the chords, instruments and vocal style of jazz.
Songs keep pop's short length and clear melodies but use jazz harmony, swing or soft Latin rhythms, and instruments such as piano, double bass, brushed drums and horns. Improvisation is light or absent. The blend goes back to the meeting of jazz and popular song in the mid-20th century, and it returns regularly with singers who bring jazz phrasing to a mainstream audience. It is easier and more song-led than jazz proper.
Artists it is known for: Norah Jones, Michael Bublé, Jamie Cullum.
