Small Group Jazz

Small Group Jazz is a style of jazz performed by a small ensemble, typically ranging from three to eight musicians. It emphasizes improvisation, allowing each player to spontaneously create melodies within the harmonic framework. This format promotes interaction and conversation among musicians, fostering a dynamic and flexible performance. Common instruments include piano, bass, drums, and horns like saxophone or trumpet. Small Group Jazz is known for its emphasis on personal expression, intricate interplay, and the collective improvisation that distinguishes it from larger jazz ensembles.
