Answer 1

I like jazz music .Harmony is just as important as melody to a jazz musician.Harmonies or chords in jazz are usually done by the pianist and the real good ones,like Thelonious Monk,improvise harmonies also,doing chords variations.Those variations allows the improviser to change and play with the melodies.Harmonies makes the music more fuller and richer and the more interesting the harmonies the more options the musicians have melodically."Harmony is inherently complex,inherently intellectual,inherently difficult.It is the last aspect of musicality to mature in the young,and tests show that many people never achieve harmonic sophistication.Not surprisingly,harmonic depth is rare in popular music." Music,The Brain and Ecstasy,Robert Jourdain
The use of harmonies in pop music,if any,are usually simple.Hardly you’ll find 7th ,9th ,11th chords or chords inversions in pop music."Harmonically simple music that revolves around a few chords all in the same key sounds flat to those accustomed to journeying deep into tonal hierarchies" Music,The Brain and Ecstasy,Robert Jourdain
Tone is the sound quality of the different instruments used in music.Each musical instrument has a distinctive sound.With the advancements in technology in the last 30 years,you don’t even need to play an instrument to make music.More and more,the music you listen on the radio like rap,hip hop and reggaeton,is done with drum machines,computers,sampling or pre recorded instruments.
Rarely you’ll find this in jazz music.
Call me old fashioned but I prefer to listen to an instrument played by a real person than to listen to a computarized version of that instrument."A real violin tone is richer than a synthesized one partly because it gives the auditory cortex more to respond to." Music,The Brain and Ecstasy,Robert Jourdain
In jazz music there are huge differences in texture or tone when the same instrument is played by different musicians.Compare the sound of Coleman Hawkins,to Lester Young,or Sonny Rollins,John Coltrane,Joshua Redman or David Sanchez.All sax players,all with a very distinctive sound.
And then there’s rhythm.Rhythm is the element that distinguish one music style from the other.Most music is written in 4/4,including jazz,but some like waltz are written in 3/4
