, with the help of internet, Jazz sweeps over the whole world, and nearly every country has its own style of Jazz. Jazz’s multi-elemental development becomes the main trend. In the two decades, Jazz has caught on to the audience like wildfire. What once was a pure American genre now is seeping into other countries. Other genres, such as bluegrass, metal, country, and southern blues have spliced them into Jazz. Within the two decades, it seems that each European country has its own style in Jazz for different cultural backgrounds. Jazz can be found in US, UK, France, Italy, Sweden, Denmark, Holland, Belgium, Poland, Germany, Brazil, Argentina, Japan, Hong Kong, and so on.

New technology, various electronic instruments, and advanced recording equipment almost exhaust Jazz’s fusion completely in style. And in the so-called modern creative music, there is little of Jazz’s original elements. On the contrary, in the two decades the elements of any music style can be found in Jazz.

Jazz, Another Melting-Pot? In modern society, Jazz continues its multi-elemental development. This great development trend is indispensable to the globalization and integration of the world. The earth is like a global village in which people from different countries communicate closely with each other. In addition, with the help of internet, Jazz has a faster way of transmission to every corner of the world. On the internet, people can easily grasp the latest news of foreign countries and download any information from all kinds of sources. Certainly, listening to Jazz of different styles is not a hard thing on internet. Besides, in modern society, technology becomes more and more advanced, and plays an important role in the multi-elemental development of Jazz.
