Jazz is made from emotional feelings by the artist depending on how they feel about their music. It can be bright and emotional or sad and kinda dark. But it all kinda leads to more emotional forms than anything else nowadays.

Gives quit a bright feeling of energy you can quite picture a scene by the name of the song maybe in a movie and such.
