Jazz was the name of a fully-integrated software suite for the Apple Macintosh 512K introduced in 1985 between the earlier introduction of Appleworks and the later (1989) introduction of Microsoft Office. It was produced by the Lotus Development Corporation, Cambridge Mass., which has since become known for its Lotus Notes product. Jazz was advertised as five programs in one: Worksheet, Graphics program, Word Processor, Database and Communications (terminal emulator). One of the most distinctive features of the program were "Hot Views" in which spreadsheet tables, graphs and other documents could be embedded in word processing documents and would automatically reflect changes made in the original document!

Because the market for the 512K was so small, Jazz was not a commercial success and Lotus eventually discontinued the product.
