1 meaning of jazzing

1
verb
Present participle and gerund of jazz.
The decorators spent the weekend jazzing up the hotel lobby.
Jazzing the old arrangement gave the dull tune some real energy.
Note
One -ing form does two jobs here: a participle after be (they were jazzing up the lobby) and a gerund that works as a noun. Dorothy L. Sayers's The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club (1928) shows the noun use, deploring "all this jazzing and short skirts" as a modern habit. Because jazz also has slang meanings of ruining, complicating and, in dated US slang, selling sex, let context settle which one is meant.
