Jazz is characterized by improvised melodic lines, substitute harmonies and syncopated rhythms. Sub-genres include swing, bebop, fusion and smooth jazz as well as styles tied to specific instrumentation such as big band jazz and boogie-woogie piano. It is closely related to the blues. Instrumentation varies widely, but often includes piano, drums, bass, and a variety of horns, guitars or other instruments.
