Listening to jazz is full of moments of transport. You listen intently, your mind wanders, but then the music draws you back, carefully. It so often tells a story that you can tune in and out of, the way a tune might drift in and out of improvisation. In some ways, it's a mindful meditation.


But as with every great artistic movement, something came before it. The foundations of jazz have long been traced to the slave songs of American plantations, African polyrhythms, and the European classical tradition.
