The New Orleans Jazz era began in the early 1900s and was characterized by collective improvisation and a focus on polyphonic, rhythmic music. The Swing era followed in the 1930s and 40s and was marked by a more regimented, danceable sound, with arrangements and big band instrumentation becoming more common.

Bebop emerged in the mid-1940s as a reaction to the commercialization of Swing, and emphasized small group improvisation and virtuoso soloing. The Cool era followed in the 1950s and was characterized by a more relaxed, introspective sound, with arrangements that emphasized space, texture, and lyricism.

Hard Bop emerged in the late 1950s as a fusion of Bebop and R&B, and emphasized blues and gospel-based melodies and harmonies. The Modal/Free era followed in the 1960s and was marked by a greater use of non-standard scales and harmonies, as well as free-form improvisation.

Finally, the Fusion era emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s and was characterized by a fusion of jazz with rock, funk, and world music styles, and an increased use of electric instruments and studio effects.
