Jazz originated in New Orleans at the end of the 19th century, evolving from African work songs and spirituals, and is characterized by improvisation. Initially played by poor African-American and Creole musicians, it faced cultural misunderstanding and segregation but gained popularity in the late 1930s when white orchestras began to adapt it. The style known as Dixieland jazz included both somber music for funerals and lively songs for celebrations, played by small bands with various instruments.
