Music is able to arouse and heighten listener’s emotions and sensations. However, experimental studies on the connotative meaning of particular music repertoires, such as jazz music, are still scarce. The study uses 20 subjects to evaluate and describe verbally 25 pieces of jazz music that belongs to cool jazz and bebop sub-genres. Three clusters have emerged, which can be related to the well-known valence-arousal emotional space. A further analysis of the acoustic features of the tracks revealed that bebop tracks are mainly associated with low valence values that were characterized by a high degree of roughness.
