"Jazz" has a qualification called "Swing"; but trying to explain this concept is such too difficult that, even the jazz musicians don't attempt to this. The meaning of "Swing" in jazz is: Both the listener and the performer(s) must feel to swing rhythmically, move slightly, and feel to dance; with the song currently being played. If the listener does not feel like this, then it means there's a fault in the performer(s); and this music can be described as plain/rectilinear.
