		As with Free Jazz, the Avant-Garde came of age in the 1960's and has continued almost unnoticed as a menacing force in the jazz underground, scorned by the mainstream that it influences.
		Free Jazz, which overlaps with the avant-garde, remains a controversial and mostly underground style, influencing the modern mainstream while often being ignored.
		Free Jazz was a radical departure from past styles for typically after playing a quick theme, the soloist does not have to follow any progression or structure and can go in any unpredictable direction.

	Jazz rap - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Known for intellectual, often socio-political or Afrocentric lyrics and jazz beats (sometimes performed by a live band, instead of sampled), jazz rap has not become a huge mainstream success; it instead sells primarily to a small specialized fan base.
		Though jazz rap had achieved little mainstream success, jazz legend Miles Davis' final album (released in 1992 posthumously), Doo Bop, was based around hip hop beats and collaborations with MC Easy Mo Bee.
		Jazz rap is a fusion of alternative hip hop music and jazz, developed in the very late 1980s and early 1990s.

	Self and Community in Modern Jazz
		There was no commonly accepted mainstream jazz anymore, and so it had become more difficult for musicians to make a living; its appeal to a larger audience made hard bop a financially sensible music for a financially unstable time.
		Jazz is the product of a postmodern horizontal world.
		Its musicians were "trying to raise the quality of jazz from the level of utilitarian dance music to that of a chamber art form...[and] the status of the jazz performer from entertainer to artist." 1 Unlike the simplistic swing music, bebop was fast and complex, requiring technical proficiency.

		JAZZ BAND BALL ORCHESTRA There are only a few jazz groups in Europe which, independently of the tastes of their audiences and the popularity of their music, have so persistently maintained their direction of style.

	Jazz fusion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While jazz fusion is criticised in some quarters for being a watering down of more conventional swing-based jazz for pop audiences, and further criticised by others for being pretentious or too concerned with musical virtuosity, it has helped to break down boundaries between different genres and led to developments such as acid jazz.
		Jazz fusion (sometimes referred to simply as fusion) is a musical genre that loosely encompasses the merging of jazz with other styles, particularly rock, funk, RandB, and world music.
		The influences of avant-garde jazz and psychedelic rock that were strongly present in the fusion groups of 1970s have long been absent and replaced by lighter jazz-rock sound that often incorporates elements from funk.
