JAZZ: Verb to Noun

THIS WOULD BE A COOL T-SHIRT...

WHAT DOES JAZZ MEAN?

The origins of the word Jazz are very vague and undetermined as no one really can pin point where it actually came from. It is known to com from New Orleans around the 1920s. First being used amongst bands as a way to tell their fellow band mates to pick up tempo in a song, "Jazz it up!". It was also known to originate in sports as a way to describe someones poor pitching such as "That was a jazz ball". While its origins are not cohesive, the spelling has also changed over time.
