This article examines the influence of folklore on the works of Soviet jazz composers. Musicians, ensembles and jazz orchestras of various republics of the former USSR actively introduced into their repertoire both arrangements of folk songs and original pieces with a national flavor. An outsize proportion of improvisations in these compositions gave an extraordinary appeal to this music. Also, the article mentions the popularization of famous military songs by jazz bands and singers during the Second World War. Many famous world stars also replenished their repertoire with Russian melodies. Since the 50s, Russian composers have been paying increasing attention to the creation of plays with a folklore flavor. Such pieces bring popularity to jazz groups. This is facilitated by the development of the jazz festival movement in Moscow, Leningrad and the capitals of the Union republics. In conclusion, about the influence of folklore themes on the formation of the creativity of modern jazz performers.
