 | | Free jazz, or "progressive 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. |
 | | There were earlier precedents, but free jazz crystalized in the late 1950's, especially via Ornette Coleman, and probably found its greatest exposure in the late 1960s with John Coltrane, Archie Shepp, Albert Ayler, Cecil Taylor, Sun Ra, Pharaoh Sanders, Sam Rivers, Leroy Jenkins, Don Pullen and others. |
 | | When a pianist or guitarist improvises chords while a soloist is playing, it is called comping or vamping, also see ostinato. |
