Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to outline the features, causes and genesis of the treatment of classical works in jazz vocal and instrumental music. The research methodology involves the use of the method of analysis, synthesis, and the application of a comparative approach, which contributes to the solution of the goal. The scientific novelty is to highlight the peculiarities of the interpretation of classical works in jazz. Attention is drawn to genre reincarnations due to their style rethinking. Conclusions. Classical music by prominent composers is a source of inspiration for many artists. The desire to rethink the works of leading artists leads to the reincarnation of classics in different styles, including jazz. Selection of works is conditioned by the fact that the masterpieces of academic music do not lose their relevance, they have an inevitable value, a potential opportunity for their rethinking, which is emphasized by the peculiarities of the structure, bright themes and high spiritual content. Among the composers, whose legacy is most often subject to style reintroduction, stands the figure of J.S. Bach. At the expense of improvisation, available in his works, as well as with other classical composers, it is possible to create interesting jazz versions.
