Jazz-Rock is a musical genre that blends elements of jazz and rock music. It emerged in the late 1960s and is characterized by the use of electric instruments, complex rhythms, and improvisation. Artists often incorporate jazz harmonies and structures into rock songs, creating a unique sound that appeals to fans of both genres. Notable bands and musicians associated with Jazz-Rock include Blood, Sweat & Tears, Chicago, and Steely Dan. This genre paved the way for other styles, such as fusion, which further explored the combination of jazz and various musical influences. Jazz-Rock remains influential in contemporary music.
