This poster by Lotza perfectly captures the spirit of Jazz, with a mesmerizing saxophonist playing his heart out on stage. Jazz was born at the beginning of the 20th century in the Southern United States, more precisely in New Orleans. It was a fusion of African and European music, which evolved over time to incorporate elements of blues, ragtime and swing. Jazz pioneers include musicians such as Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, and Miles Davis, who helped popularize the genre worldwide. Over the years, jazz has evolved into different subgenres such as bebop, cool jazz, free jazz, and jazz fusion. Jazz is more than just music; it is a cultural and social movement that has played an important role in American history by fighting racial discrimination and promoting freedom of artistic expression. Today, Jazz is enjoyed worldwide and continues to inspire new generations of musicians and artists, as this illustration by Lotza illustrates.
