African Jazz

K: Amin T: 120 TS: 4/4 INST: Drums, AcousticBass, Piano, Saxophone, AfricanPercussion, Guitar Mood: Groovy, Soulful, Rhythmic, Warm Structure: AABA or ABAC Summary: African Jazz blends the improvisational spirit, harmonic depth, and instrumental lineup of jazz with the rich rhythmic complexity, melodic sensibilities (often incorporating pentatonic or modal scales), and soulful warmth of African musical traditions. This typically results in music centered around a strong, often polyrhythmic, groove driven by the rhythm section, frequently augmented by African percussion. Instruments like saxophone, trumpet, or piano provide melodic lines and form the basis for extended improvisations, often over cyclical harmonic patterns or standard song forms like AABA, but infused with an distinctly African feel.
