75 Best Jazz Songs for Weddings
We have created a list of our favorite best jazz songs for weddings. Jazz music was influenced by West African folk music. Although it is thought that Jazz started in New Orleans in the early 20th century, many areas in America also started playing jazz music at the same time such as St. Louis, Chicago, and Kansas City.
Jazz music is an American creation. Jazz music is more than just played by musicians. It is considered a heartfelt expression.
Jazz spans many different styles of music such as Swing, Big Band, Dixieland, Scat, and much more. Early Jazz musicians were Louis Armstrong, Sidney Bechet, and Jelly Roll Morton. In the ’30s Jazz Swing was most popular with artists like Count Basie, the Dorsey Brothers, and Artie Shaw.
