- jazz - Music, often improvisational, originally developed around the turn of the 20th century by African Americans from elements of blues and ragtime, with syncopated rhythms and a European harmonic structure. Jazz consistently evolved throughout the 20th century with numerous phases, from a New Orleans style or swing, to "free jazz," for example, which emerged in the late 1950s. Therefore, jazz itself has no precise definition, however it has rarely been a completely composed music.
- musicians - Those skilled or specializing in the art or practice of music, such as composers, conductors, and performers.
- pianos - Zitherlike chordophones with keyboards whose strings are sounded by being struck with rebounding hammers controlled by the keys.
- saxophones - Single-reed instruments, commonly of brass, with wide conical bore and slightly flared bell; built in several sizes from sopranino to contrabass, all but the two smallest are bent back in a U-form with the bell tilted forward.
- trumpets (aerophones) - Generally, all lip-vibrated aerophones of predominantly cylindrical bore. May also refer specifically for the modern Western band, concert, and orchestral trumpets, having a wide mouthpiece, a narrow bore, valves, and a medium-sized bell throat and bell flare.
