Harry Kim and the Kim Tones

Harry Kim and the Kim Tones featuring the Doctor.

Jazz is a style of music and/or dance that originates in New Orleans on Earth. It is characterized by a flexible and strong rhythm. This music style is also known for its improvising nature.

Beverly Crusher studied jazz dance in St. Louis. (TNG: "Data's Day")

William Riker was a jazz player. (TNG: "Remember Me") His main musical instrument was the trombone; however, his skills were not up to that of a professional. (TNG: "11001001") He had trouble with the song "Night Bird." (TNG: "Second Chances") Riker could also play the piano, and taught Amarie -- a musician in a bar on Qualor II -- some jazz routines when the Enterprise visited the planet in 2368. (TNG: "Unification, Part II")

When Geordi La Forge wanted to impress Doctor Leah Brahms who was about to visit him in his quarters, he decided to play a piece of soft jazz, before finally deciding on a piece played by a classical guitar. (TNG: "Galaxy's Child")

Odo mentioned Jazz in 2369, in a hypothetical situation as to why he had never dated anyone. He told Quark that a compromise could lead to someone "spending an agonizing night listening to Klingon opera" instead of watching Karo-Net or at least listening to Jazz. (DS9: "A Man Alone")

Harry Kim was also a jazz player. He had a band on Voyager called Harry Kim and the Kim Tones. The band was an instrumental jazz quartet fronted by Kim. In 2376 they put on a show for the Qomar, who were visiting the ship. The Qomar did not receive them well and they were forced to give the spotlight over to the Doctor. (VOY: "Virtuoso")

In 2375 the Ba'Neth damaged Tuvok's mind with an energy weapon, causing him to lose much of his intellect and to become emotional for a time. While he was in this state he was found to be fond of jazz. (VOY: "Riddles")
