==Jazz== Cadences in [[jazz]] are usually simply called cadences, as in common practice harmony. However, a certain category of cadence is referred to as a [[turnaround (music)|''turnaround'']] (originally called a "turnback" which is more accurate); this is when a cadence functions as a return to an already existing part of a song form such as AABA. In an AABA form, there are two turnbacks: at the end of the first A (A1) in order to repeat it (A2), and at the end of the B section in order to play the A a third time (A3). (The transition from the second A to the B is not a turnback, because the B section is being heard for the first time.) [[Half-step]] cadences are common in jazz if not cliché.{{what?|date=November 2022}}<ref>Norman Carey (Spring, 2002). Untitled review: "''Harmonic Experience'' by [[W. A. Mathieu]]", p. 125.
