Russian jazz

Russian jazz refers to the development, influence, and performance of jazz music in Russia and the former Soviet Union. Though jazz is often considered a quintessentially American art form, it was introduced in Russia in the 1920s and took root, developing new forms there while performers navigated cultural, political, and social challenges over time. It was suppressed during the Cold War, and later experienced a resurgence.
