Jazz is the seventh studio album by Queen released on 1978-11-10 and produced by Queen and Roy Thomas Baker. The album contains songs from several genres including rock, heavy metal, funk, and softer ballads. Some romantic rock songs carrying on the tradition from the Opera/Races albums, but also really explodes with arena rock songs like Don't Stop Me No, Fat Bottomed Girls, and Let Me Entertain You. For some reason, the album begins with Freddie's rather odd Mustapha song which doesn't fit the rest of the album.
