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.

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]

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.
