	Jazz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Free jazz's greatest departure from other styles is in the use of harmony and a regular, swinging tempo: Both are often implied, utilized loosely, or abandoned altogether.
		Free jazz, or avant-garde jazz, is a subgenre that, while rooted in bebop, typically uses less compositional material and allows performers more latitude in what they choose to play.
		Jazz has roots in the combination of Western and African music traditions, including spirituals, blues and ragtime, stemming ultimately from West Africa, western Sahel, and New England's religious hymns and hillbilly music, as well as in European military band music.

	HyperMusic -- History of Jazz
		This music of the plantations blended with the European-American musical tradition to create the basis for blues, ragtime, and other musical forms from which jazz evolved.
		Jazz represents a merging and melding of many different peoples and their heritages.
		Plantation songs, spirituals, and field hollers were a part of everyday life -- to celebrate, to mourn, to entertain, to commemorate, to worship, and to accompany the drudgery of work.

	Improvisation
		A: Free Improvisation began establishing itself as an independent musical style in the late 1960s, primarily due to the efforts of a number of pioneering English and European avant-garde jazz musicians.
		Interestingly, while many musicians are involved with both "Free Jazz" and "Free Improvisation" there is little conceptual connection between these two genres, as many of the most influential practitioners of Free Jazz like Ornette Coleman and Cecil Taylor deal almost entirely with compositions (which of course allow for a lot of improvisation within pre-defined structures).
		Free Improvisers take the most basic elements of music and sound as their starting point, and build up their music from there.

		West Coast Jazz is as exploratory as that of any other region, but the incorporation of European-style counterpoint, avant-garde music, and the inclusion of classical instruments differentiate some of the modern West Coast artists…
		Chicago Free Jazz of the 60s placed ragtime and stride alongside bebop and abstract improvisation; music ran the gamut from the traditional to the absurd to the surreal.
		Improvised Music embraces the same harmonic/rhythmic concepts and spontaneity of form as Free Jazz but is less rooted in jazz tradition.

	Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey: Taking Giant Steps
		RM: I mean jazz itself at its inception was a union of the descendant of European song forms, with African beats.
		We are playing free jazz, but we’re playing beautiful free jazz, with melodies and harmonies that we’re creating, and phrases that we’re improvising on the spot.
		And they are indeed, as the jazz community can no longer deny that three young men from Tulsa (bassist Reed Mathis, pianist Brian Haas and drummer Jason Smart) are bound to become respected jazzmen, capable of utilizing the traditional stride laid before them, and pushing it with innovative techniques one step further.

		In addition, it could be argued that jazz would not exist without both instruments invented or developed by Europeans (the trumpet, saxophone, trombone, double bass, etc.) and the previous work of Europeans in music theory, which was explored in different ways by jazz musicians, such as increased use of the seventh chord and extended chords.

	Free Jazz And Free Improvisation : Features : One Final Note
		Cognizant of Free Music’s universality, he also has a good percentage of entries on non-American performers—European and Japanese in the main—as well as separate slots for important nightclubs and record labels.
		Despite Jenkins’ hard work, it appears that Free Jazz and Free Improvisation is still only another small step on the road to completeness for individuals and institutions that seek a permanent collection of facts about these genres.
		That said, Free Jazz and Free Improvisation also encompasses several egregious flaws that compromise the volumes’ status as a reference source.

	Shelly Manne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He participated in the revival of that precursor to jazz, ragtime (he appears on several albums devoted to the music of Scott Joplin), and sometimes recorded with musicians best associated with European classical music.
		Tending to link Manne with West Coast jazz in another less than complimentary sense was the series of albums he recorded with pianist André Previn and with members of his groups, based on music from popular Broadway shows, movies, and television programs.
		He was frequently associated with West Coast Jazz, but his broad range of contributions to music, not only jazz, showed that he could not be readily pigeonholed.

		He embraced the new generation of free jazz exponents, and his music gradually reflected his interest in Eastern music and philosophy on such recordings as Om, Ascension, and A Love Supreme.
		He also emerged as the most influential and widely imitated saxophonist in jazz, his intensely emotional attack and dense flow of notes("sheets of sound") becoming hallmarks of the next generation of saxophone players.

	AskOxford: Montreux Jazz Festival
		For indeed contrary to many European summer festivals, that try to inscribe themselves in the 'Woodstock tradition' of long-haired students the Montreux Jazz Festival likes to retain an aura of glamour.
		It is also worth mentioning that, since 1995, the public has also been able to enjoy free concerts in the Montreux Jazz Café and in the Off–Festival.
		The history of the Montreux Jazz Festival is closely linked to one man, Claude Nobs, a local of the Swiss Riviera and the creator of this major event, who over the last 35 years has managed to bring to his native town some of the greatest musicians of the twentieth century.

	Gunther Schuller - Free Music Downloads, Videos, CDs, MP3s, Bio, Merchandise and Links
		A jazz devotee from the beginning, he has been the most outspoken advocate of a fusion between elements of European classical music and jazz, inventing the term "Third Stream" at a 1957 Brandeis University lecture to describe it.
		Although Third Stream music had been around in some form since the beginning of the century, it was Schuller who crystallized the idea, and thanks to alliances with such jazz figures as John Lewis, George Russell, Charles Mingus and Jimmy Giuffre, he actively encouraged new works in that form.
		Ironically, in view of his efforts to bring jazz into academia and the concert hall, Schuller is entirely self-taught as a composer.
