	Australian jazz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although jazz in Australia suffered a significant drop in popularity during the Sixties and Seventies, as it did in most other countries, there was a marked resurgence of interest in the Eighties and Nineties as a new generation of musicians came to the fore.
		It is also important to acknowledge the role of New Zealand musicians in the Australian jazz scene, and as jazz historian Andrew Bissett has noted, it is impossible to properly discuss the subject of Australian jazz without reference to New Zealand.
		Jazz fusion, as typified by groups like Return to Forever, largely passed Australia by, although the group Crossfire was probably the best and best-known Australian act to work in this area.

		His response to this situation not only fills a gap in Australian cultural history, but takes jazz as a site of social construction and critique to expand on the thesis that Australian jazz was pivotal between the Wars in the development of Australian modernism.
		That jazz was the musical style in which gender roles were questioned, and that this was mediated through technological development by which the gendered voice was privileged over accompanying ensembles, provides Johnson with the circumstances through which his interpretation of Australian jazz as social factor is expounded.
		Despite these factual asides, and the construction of jazz as "the primary musical signpost of the advent of Australian modernity" (169), there is criticism of ways in which Australian jazz continues to be marginalized and that much of its history remains unexplored.
