Slang: A Language All its Own



Jazz has introduced and expanded upon many innovations in music. One innovation that has endured is the use of slang terminology. You can see a pretty exhaustive list of often used slang terms right here

So now for the follow-up...

  • Why do you think jazz musicians developed this manner of speaking?
  • What do you think is the overall intention of slang use?
  • Do we (or your generation) still utilize slang terms?
  • Has the use of slang terminology evolved over time?
  • Care to share any of your favorite slang terms?
