Where to find the Jazz
Answer:
UTAH
Hint:
This NBA team plays its home games in Salt Lake City and shares its name with a popular music genre.
Explanation:
The clue "Where to find the Jazz" refers to the NBA team the Utah Jazz, not the music genre. While the name might suggest New Orleans (where jazz originated), the team has been based in Utah since 1979. It’s a playful misdirection—using the word "Jazz" to point to the state rather than the musical style. The answer is simply the team’s home: UTAH.
