Avant-Garde Jazz

Avant-garde jazz from the 1960s: extended-technique sax, prepared piano, arco bass, menacing and raw in feel. A name-free Suno recipe that reproduces the signature sound without tripping the artist-name filter.

History

Avant-garde jazz, also called avant-jazz or the new thing, took shape in the 1950s among improvisers who rejected the conventions of bebop and post-bop and wanted to blur the line between the written and the spontaneous. Lennie Tristano had tried collective free improvisation as early as 1949 on "Intuition" and "Digression", and players began borrowing atonality and serialism. Ornette Coleman opened the door with The Shape of Jazz to Come in 1959, and together with Cecil Taylor he formed the first wave. At first avant-garde and free jazz meant the same thing, but the terms drifted apart: avant-garde jazz keeps composed melodies, shifting but planned meters and a clear line between soloist and accompaniment. The second wave in the 1960s brought John Coltrane, Eric Dolphy, Charles Mingus and Albert Ayler, while in Chicago the AACM and the Art Ensemble of Chicago took an eclectic path, and poet Amiri Baraka recorded spoken word with the New York Art Quartet in 1964. Coltrane aside, few found wide popularity, and the music moved from jazz clubs into museums and community centres, and some players moved to Europe. Non-Americans such as the Pole Krzysztof Komeda and the German Peter Brötzmann shaped it too.
