Description of jazz vibraphone music

Jazz vibraphone music is a subgenre of jazz that features the vibraphone as the primary melodic instrument. The vibraphone is a percussion instrument that has metal bars, like a xylophone, but with metal resonators beneath each bar that produce a vibrato sound when activated. In jazz, vibraphone players often use mallets to play complex melodies and harmonies, and they are known for their ability to create intricate solos and improvisations. Some of the most notable jazz vibraphone players include Lionel Hampton, Milt Jackson, and Bobby Hutcherson, among others. Jazz vibraphone music has been influential in many other genres, including Latin jazz, fusion, and avant-garde jazz.
