Jazz and classical music make use of the same music notation, syncopation, chords, and improvisation, and have many other similarities but here unlike in classical music the emphasis is placed on the performer. Through this art form the performer is able to present new ideas, share their own emotional state, use their theoretical and historical knowledge to create their own interpretation of the work, and further perfect their performance. The performer in Jazz music is the focus of this art form and therefore must be as familiar with theoretical and historical knowledge as a composer and be able to improvise and create coherent musical thoughts at the same speed in which they enter the brain. This art form is based on pure communication between the artist and the audience in which the audience shares the experience at the same time in which the performer has the experience. This art form is completely freeing of the restricted boundaries of classical music and yet remains on the same intellectual plateau regarding musical elements such as technique, dynamics, and phrasing just to name a few. While Jazz music like classical music is exercise for the brain, jazz is more comparable to taking your brain to the playground where it can fully release its creative potential and express imagination within a less stringent framework.
