==Overview== |
|||
According to critic Tony Brewer, |
|||
{{Quote|"Nu Jazz is to (traditional) Jazz what punk or grunge was to Rock, of course. [...] The songs are the focus, not the individual prowess of the musicians. Nu Jazz instrumentation ranges from the traditional to the experimental, the melodies are fresh, and the rhythms new and alive. It makes Jazz fun again."}}<!--QUOTE FROM SOURCE BELOW--> |
|||
== History == |
|||
Nu jazz ranges from combining live instrumentation with beats of [[house music|house]], exemplified by [[St. Germain (musician)|St Germain]], [[Jazzanova]] and [[Fila Brazillia]], to more band-based improvised jazz with electronic elements, such as that of [[The Cinematic Orchestra]], [[Kobol (band)|Kobol]], and the "future jazz" style pioneered by [[Bugge Wesseltoft]], [[Jaga Jazzist]], [[Nils Petter Molvær]], and others. |
|||
Nu jazz began with the use of electronic instruments in the 1970s, with contributions from artists like [[Miles Davis]], [[Herbie Hancock]], and [[Ornette Coleman]]. Herbie Hancock's work in the early 1980s, particularly his collaboration with Bill Laswell on the album "Future Shock," played a pivotal role in defining the genre by incorporating electro and hip-hop rhythms. By the late 1980s, many hip-hop musicians were exploring jazz-rap, including groups like [[Gang Starr]], [[The Roots]], [[A Tribe Called Quest]], and [[Nas]]. Concurrently, in the 1980s, numerous house musicians drew inspiration from [[jazz]], especially post-bop and jazz-funk. |
|||
In the mid-1990s and early 2000s, downtempo artists such as Jazztronik, St Germain, Truby Trio, DJ Takemura, Perry Hemus, and Jazzanova delved deeper into jazz. During the same period, producers of intelligent dance music, including notable names like Squarepusher and Spring Heel Jack, and later London Elektricity and Landslide, also showed interest in nu jazz. Techno musicians like [[Carl Craig]] and his Innerzone Orchestra project demonstrated interest in the genre. Figures from hardcore and breakcore scenes, such as [[Alec Empire]], [[Nic Endo]], and [[Venetian Snares]], experimented with a harsher and more noisy variant of nu jazz. A decade later, some dubstep producers, like Boxcutter, also explored electronic jazz. |

While maintaining traditional jazz forms, pianist [[Bugge Wesseltoft]] and trumpeter [[Nils Petter Molvær]] are known for their improvisations in the nu jazz style.

== Development in the 21st century == |

===Los Angeles scene=== |

[[Los Angeles]] based artist [[Flying Lotus]] and artists under his independent record label, [[Brainfeeder]], have instigated significant stylistic development and commercial exposure of nu jazz.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Barton|first1=Chris|title=The groove where jazz and dance music meet|url=http://articles.latimes.com/2012/aug/26/entertainment/la-et-cm-edm-to-jazz-20120826|work=Los Angeles Times|access-date=3 December 2015}}</ref> While nu jazz is not the primary focus of Brainfeeder, many of the in-house artists such as [[Thundercat (musician)|Thundercat]], [[Taylor McFerrin]], [[Daedelus (musician)|Daedelus]], and Flying Lotus fuse [[jazz]] elements with experimental electronic sounds. ''[[Cosmogramma]]'' by Flying Lotus released on April 20, 2010 featured jazz saxophonist [[Ravi Coltrane]] in "Arkestry" and "Germain Haircut" which both present avant-garde jazz backed by dense futuristic beats and texture.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Colly|first1=Joe|title=Cosmogramma|url=http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/14198-cosmogramma/|website=Pitchfork|publisher=Pitchfork|access-date=10 December 2015}}</ref> Flying Lotus's more recent work, ''[[You're Dead!]]'' released in 2014 October 20, invited the performance of saxophonist [[Kamasi Washington]] and jazz titan [[Herbie Hancock]] who shared his prowess as a keyboardist and co-writer.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Patrin|first1=Nate|title=You're Dead|url=http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/19875-flying-lotus-youre-dead/|website=Pitchfork|publisher=Pitchfork|access-date=10 December 2015}}</ref> Both albums by Flying Lotus were awarded "Best New Music" by [[Pitchfork (website)|Pitchfork]].

Established jazz artists have become increasingly active as leaders of nu jazz works in the 21st century. Jazz trumpeter [[Dave Douglas (trumpeter)|Dave Douglas]] and his trio involving [[Mark Guiliana]] and Jonathon Maron worked with electronic musician [[Shigeto]], who established the musical theme of the band with his ambient synth bass and texture.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Turner|first1=Mark|title=Dave Douglas: High Risk (2015)|url=http://www.allaboutjazz.com/high-risk-dave-douglas-greenleaf-music-review-by-mark-f-turner.php|website=AllAboutJazz|access-date=2 December 2015}}</ref> Although no studio recording has been released, [[Mark Guiliana]] performed duo sets with Zach Danziger who constructed melodies using samples and, once the theme was established and looped, joined Guiliana on drums to create rhythmically intense electronic jazz.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Michael|first1=Dan|title=Exclusive Interview: Mark Guiliana – 'Beat Music: Los Angeles Improvisations' + 'My Life Starts Now' Pt.

Nu jazz (also spelt nü jazz or known as jazztronica,[1]orfuture jazz) is a genre of jazz and electronic music. The music blends jazz elements with other musical styles, such as funk, electronic music, and free improvisation.[2]
Nu jazz typically ventures further into the electronic territory than does its close cousin, acid jazz.[3] Nu jazz can be very experimental in nature and can vary widely in sound and concept.[3] The sound departs further from its blues roots than acid jazz does, and instead explores electronic sounds and ethereal jazz sensualities.[3] "The star of Nu jazz is the music itself and not the individual dexterity of the musicians."[3]
Nu jazz began with the use of electronic instruments in the 1970s, with contributions from artists like Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, and Ornette Coleman. Herbie Hancock's work in the early 1980s, particularly his collaboration with Bill Laswell on the album "Future Shock," played a pivotal role in defining the genre by incorporating electro and hip-hop rhythms. By the late 1980s, many hip-hop musicians were exploring jazz-rap, including groups like Gang Starr, The Roots, A Tribe Called Quest, and Nas. Concurrently, in the 1980s, numerous house musicians drew inspiration from jazz, especially post-bop and jazz-funk.
In the mid-1990s and early 2000s, downtempo artists such as Jazztronik, St Germain, Truby Trio, DJ Takemura, Perry Hemus, and Jazzanova delved deeper into jazz. During the same period, producers of intelligent dance music, including notable names like Squarepusher and Spring Heel Jack, and later London Elektricity and Landslide, also showed interest in nu jazz.

While maintaining traditional jazz forms, pianist Bugge Wesseltoft and trumpeter Nils Petter Molvær are known for their improvisations in the nu jazz style. The Cinematic Orchestra is recognized for incorporating traditional jazz elements into their musical productions alongside electronic elements. St Germain, a prominent figure in nu jazz, even sold 1.5 million copies of his album "Tourist."[4][5]
