Contemporary jazz reflects both its past and the current music scene in general. Some artists are more traditional and are attached to older styles, while others stretch jazz to a place that is not necessarily even recognizable to many as jazz. R&B styles and musical styles from around the world have become common as part of the jazz language. Though this kind of genre mixing has been around in jazz for a long time, jazz today has its own sound and styles.
