Avant-Garde Jazz
Avant-garde jazz (also known as avant-jazz) is a style of music and improvisation that combines avant-garde art music and composition with jazz. Avant-jazz often sounds very similar to free jazz, but differs in that, despite its distinct departure from traditional harmony, it has a predetermined structure over which improvisation may take place. This structure may be composed note for note in advance, partially or even completely. Read more…|Edit this Artist photo: Fieldwork feat. Vijay Iyer, Steve Lehman & Tyshawn Sorey
