SM продолжает регулярную рубрику — короткие рассказы об устойчивых выражениях. Они помогут вам чувствовать культурный бэкграунд носителей языка и выглядеть среди них своим. Сегодняшняя идиома особенно понравится меломанам. О ней рассказывает лингвист, преподаватель, автор телеграм-канала Chillax English Дарья Гладких.
And all that jazz — «ну и так далее», как пел известный питерский гуляка-интеллигент Сережа Шнуров. Кстати, идиома тоже отчасти музыкальная, как вы уже поняли. А еще свежая и относительно молодая. Значение американской фразы «and all that jazz» совпадает с латинской фразой «et cetera» (etc.). И означает, что дальнейшие пункты перечислять нет смысла: они уже не важны. Например:
— What do you think makes a good English teacher? (Как ты думаешь, что описывает хорошего учителя английского?)
— Well, being smart and kind, tolerant and secure, patient and all that jazz, you know. (Что ж, это человек умный и добрый, спокойный и уверенный, терпеливый и все такое.)
В принципе, «and all that jazz» можно считать скорее сленговой фразой, чем идиомой или пословицей. Слово jazz, возможно, перешло в английский язык из креольской фразы, где «jazz» — это и секс, и некий тип танца, и еще несколько сот значений. Сама фраза «and all that jazz» начала употребляться примерно в 1939 году, а широко распространилась в 1975 году после выхода мюзикла «Чикаго».
Композиция «All that jazz» открывала мюзикл и означала «и так далее». Тот факт, что песню в 1975 году исполнила Лайза Минелли, придал идиоме еще больше популярности и распространенности. Согласитесь, фразочка со словом «джаз» куда ярче, чем etc. или уже изрядно надоевшее so on.
And All That Jazz Meaning
Definition: And other similar things.
This idiom is used at the end of a sentence to imply a continuation of a list of similar things. It is similar to saying et cetera. A store might sell televisions, radios, and all that jazz, meaning that televisions, radios, and other items similar to televisions and radios—perhaps wires, cables, phones, etc.—are sold in the store.
Origin of And All That Jazz
Jazz, of course, is a type of music, but it can also refer to nonsense or lies. In 1918, in fact, while jazz music existed, the word jazz also meaningless or empty talk, nonsense, rot, rubbish. Jazz was even a slang term for sexual intercourse, illustrating that it hasn’t always had the strict music-related definition we think of today.
Since one of its alternative meanings was nonsense, rubbish, it easily follows that and all that nonsense could be represented by the phrase and all that jazz.
In the Oxford English Dictionary, the first recorded use of this phrase is in Fred Astaire’s 1956 autobiography. It was assumed at the time that the reader would be familiar with the phrase. In point of fact, it was probably used for decades before this is jazz clubs and cocktail lounges in the 1930s, 40s, and 50s.
Example of And All That Jazz
In modern day, this idiom can be used in a list.
For example,
- I need boots, gloves, a hat, a scarf, and all that jazz.
It can be used as a more positive way to describe unpleasant things you have to do.
You can say,
- Today I have to do my homework, clean my room, take out the garbage—all that jazz.
In this example, the listener understands the speaker is not thrilled about having to do those things.
There is also a popular Broadway song called “All that Jazz” from the 1975 musical Chicago.
More Examples
- “Now, people know that parlors are not about ‘make-up and all that jazz you see in the movies’, but it has also to do with developing confidence in their looks.” –The New Indian Express
Summary
Saying and all that jazz at the end of a list means you don’t want to carry on listing everything, but you want to imply that there are additional things.

Feifei:
Hello and welcome to The English We Speak. I’m Feifei.
Здравствуйте и добро пожаловать в программу «Английский язык, на котором мы говорим». Я Фейфей.
Neil:
And I’m Neil.
А я Нил.
Feifei:
And Neil – we have a musical expression… Do you like rock music?
И Нил — у нас музыкальное выражение… Тебе нравится рок-музыка?
Neil:
Rock. Yeah I love it.
Рок. Да, мне он нравится.
Feifei:
Really?
В самом деле?
Neil:
When I was younger I was in a rock band – we had it all: long hair, loud guitars, even louder drums, leather… all that jazz!
Когда я был моложе, я играл в рок-группе — и у нас было все это: длинные волосы, грохочущие гитары, еще более громкие барабаны, кожа… и все такое прочее (all that jazz — дословно: весь этот джаз)!
Feifei:
Jazz? Hang on, was it a jazz or a rock band?!
Джаз? Подожди, это была джазовая или рок-группа?!
Neil:
Aha – very funny – «all that jazz» is our phrase today. And it has nothing to do with jazz.
Ага — очень смешно — «all that jazz» — это наше сегодняшнее выражение. И оно не имеет никакого отношения к джазу.
Feifei:
Indeed, it simply means «and so on», or «and other similar things».
Действительно, оно просто означает «и так далее» или «и тому подобное».
Neil:
You often use it after listing things. For example: I love Christmas dinner – you’ve got turkey, Brussels sprouts, roast potatoes, gravy, all that jazz. It’s just great.
Оно часто используется после перечисления чего-нибудь. Например: я люблю рождественский ужин — в него входят индейка, брюссельская капуста, жареный картофель, соус и все такое прочее. Это просто здорово.
Feifei:
You’re not wrong. I love all that jazz too. And now you’ve made my mouth water, so let’s take a break and listen to these examples.
Ты не ошибаешься. Я тоже люблю все это и тому подобное. И теперь у меня потекли слюнки, поэтому давай сделаем паузу и послушаем эти примеры.
- I had a super lazy weekend. I woke up late, got some coffee, went for a walk, watched a couple of movies, all that jazz. It was great.
- У меня были супер ленивые выходные. Я проснулся поздно, выпил кофе, пошел на прогулку, посмотрел пару фильмов и так далее, и тому подобное. Это было здорово.
- I don’t read celebrity gossip. You know: who’s going out with who, who got plastic surgery, all that jazz. I’m just not interested!
- Я не читаю сплетни про знаменитостей. Ну, ты понимаешь: кто с кем вышел в свет, кто сделал пластическую операцию и тому подобное. Мне это просто неинтересно!
Feifei:
It’s often used – in a list of unpleasant or boring things.
Это выражение часто используют для перечисления неприятных или скучных вещей.
Neil:
For example: This morning I cleaned the whole house – washing, scrubbing, vacuuming, all that jazz!
Например: сегодня утром я делал уборку всего дома — мыл, чистил, пылесосил и так далее!
Feifei:
Yes, by using «jazz» to describe dull things, it’s ironic and brings some humour.
Да, использовать слово «джаз» для описания скучных вещей — это иронично и слегка юмористично.
Neil:
It does, Feifei. Especially when we compare it with the phrase to «jazz up». You can «jazz up an outfit» or «jazz up a meal», for example – which means to make something more interesting and even glamorous.
Да, это так, Фейфей. Особенно, если мы сравним его с выражением «jazz up». Например, вы можете «jazz up» одежду или «jazz up» прием пищи, и это означает сделать что-то более интересным и даже эффектным.
Feifei:
Before we go, we should of course mention the phrase is also the name of a song from the 1975 Broadway musical, Chicago. Fancy singing it for us, Neil?
Прежде чем мы закончим, мы должны, конечно, упомянуть, что это выражение также является названием песни из бродвейского мюзикла 1975 года «Чикаго». Не хочешь спеть ее нам, Нил?
Neil:
I really couldn’t. After all, I was in a rock band. Not a jazz band! What about you, Feifei?
Я не могу. В конце концов, я был в рок-группе. Не в джазовой группе! А может быть ты споешь, Фейфей?
Feifei:
Maybe next time. I can’t remember the words!
Возможно, в следующий раз. Я не могу вспомнить слова!
Neil:
Excuses, excuses! Bye for now.
Отговорки, отговорки! А теперь до свидания.
Feifei:
Bye.
Пока.
