Nu Jazz

Nu jazz is an umbrella term coined in the late 1990s to refer to music that blends jazz elements with other musical styles, such as funk, electronic dance music, and free improvisation[1]. Also written nü-jazz or NuJazz, it is sometimes called electronic jazz, electro-jazz, e-jazz, jazztronica, jazz house, phusion, electronic-lounge or future jazz.

gakko, have you ever listened to Nils Petter Molvaer? He plays nu-jazz, but your definition, in my opiniion, doesn't relate to him.

My definition of nu-jazz is "bleak background music played by white guys who sometimes borrow harmonies from elder black guys but instantly goes back to similar harmonies and grooves used in eurovision song contest". Sometimes the drums gets more intensive though. According to my wife, I sometimes show a similar behaviour to this: she claims that I tend to move a lot more when I sleep.

This "nu jazz" therm is a bit hazy, don´t you think? It´s like tagging a box of cigarettes with "contains non-immortalizing-stuff". --- What´s wrong with "background" or "fuzac"? or just a dry "chromatic white music"?

the wikipedia definition is weak and doesn't tell anything. if you want to know what nu-jazz is, listen to bugge wesseltoft.
