Avant-garde Jazz

Avant-garde jazz is a daring and experimental genre that pushes the boundaries of traditional jazz through innovative harmonies, unconventional structures, and improvisation. Emerging in the late 1950s and 1960s, it often incorporates elements from free jazz, modern classical music, and world music, challenging listeners with its abstract and unpredictable nature. Pioneered by artists like Ornette Coleman and John Coltrane, avant-garde jazz invites audiences into a world where musical rules are meant to be broken and reimagined.
