    A ballad in jazz is a slow, sentimental love song that is typically performed in a soft, intimate style without strong rhythmic drive. Ballads make up an important part of the jazz repertoire, especially during the swing era, and are generally written in 32-bar song form with a relaxed 4/4 or 12/8 tempo. The term ballad can also refer loosely to any slow piece regardless of its musical structure or subject matter.

    In jazz and popular music a slow, sentimental love-song; the ballad forms an important part of the jazz
    repertory, particularly in the swing era. Ballads are generally cast in 32-bar song form (see Forms §1,
    (i), (a) and 4/4 or 12/8 meter; they are performed at a relaxed tempo, in a soft, intimate style, and lack
    the rhythmic drive and intensity of four-beat jazz. The word is often used, loosely, of any slow piece,
    regardless of its form, style, or subject matter. (P. Clayton and P. Gammond: Jazz: A–Z, Enfield, nr
    London, 1986)
