	Avant garde
		The avant garde was originally identified with the promotion of social progress: seeing the group or individual so described as the pioneer of a social reform movement.
		Another example of avant garde would be street art, for example the highly contentious street art found in the lanes and by-ways of inner Melbourne such as stencil art or GraffitiArt.
		The concept was adopted as a metaphor for the work done by small bands of intellectuals and artists as they open pathways through new cultural or political terrain, for the mass of society to follow.

		As with free jazz, the avant-garde came of age in the 1960s and has continued almost unnoticed as a menacing force in the jazz underground, scorned by the mainstream that it influences.
		Avant-Garde Jazz differs from free jazz in that it has more structure in the ensembles (more of a "game plan") although the individual improvisations are generally just as free of conventional rules.
		It also fused jazz with itself; that is to say, the band combined elements of jazz history and pre-history -- for instance, music from the sanctified church services, minstrel shows, and bawdy houses of late 19th and early 20th century America -- with a modernist spirit of experimentation.

	Jazz History - Avant Garde
		Avant garde, a term used synonymously in the 1960s with "free" jazz, first gained recognition in 1958 through saxophonist Ornette Coleman, as well as other pioneers including pianists Cecil Taylor and Sun Ra.
		The avant garde challenged the listener by allowing the musician to choose his own musical path rather than follow the traditional approaches to which jazz musicians had previously adhered.
		Although collective improvisation became a major component within the avant garde movement with recordings including Coltrane's "Ascension," and "Om," the concept of group improvisation dates back to early New Orleans jazz at the turn of the 20th Century.

		Dann bot aber der Free Jazz“ mit seiner Offenheit für viele andere Musikarten, mit seiner Betonung archaischer Ausdrucksformen, mit einer gewissen Ähnlichkeit zu Konzepten der experimentellen europäischen Kunst (und mit was sonst noch?) die Gelegenheit für die Entwicklung einer europäischen Szene mit einer eigenen Identität.
		Das habe ich versucht in meinen Kommentaren deutlich zu machen: Dass diese Musik sein MUß, dass sie wichtig ist, dass der Jazz sie braucht und dass sie genauso wertvoll ist.
		Und es gibt in Europa offenbar neben einer Begeisterung für Jazz nach wie vor ein intensives Interesse daran, eigene kulturelle Werte vor den fremden zu schützen.
