how many beats are there in jazz music?
I want to write a dance poem to a jaunty, fast jazz-y rhythm, in order to be more precise, I would like to know how many beats are there in jazz music?
Most jazz is either 2/4 or 4/4 time. There are some jazz waltzes 3/4 time and some other time signatures are experimented with all the time. Dave Brubecks Time Out(Take Five) is probably the best known.

It depends on the style or piece of music really. Just make sure that your poem is very upbeat, you could even make it swing a little.

‘Take Five’ is 5/4. In it, when others are soloing, listen to the rock-hard ‘123-12′ beat that Brubeck lays down. Not to be confused with Cha Cha, which is ‘12-123. Just keep the 5ths flattened, baby.
