Avant-garde Jazz

Avant-garde jazz is a style of music and improvisation that combines avant-garde art music
and composition with jazz. It originated in the mid- to late 1950s among a group of
improvisors who rejected the conventions of bebop and post bop in an effort to blur the
division between the written and the spontaneous. It came to be applied to music differing
from free jazz, emphasizing structure and organization by the use of composed melodies,
shifting but nevertheless predetermined meters and tonalities, and distinctions between
soloists and accompaniment. Musicians identified with this early stage of the style
include Cecil Taylor, Lennie Tristano, Jimmy Giuffre, Sun Ra, and Ornette Coleman.
