One of my favourites.
Modern jazz.
Yes, an odd term to apply to jazz, which is all in the modern period.
I.e. the past 500 years since a lot of humans tried to shake off the some of the more stupid traditions of ancient and prehistoric times
But, while doing this, also unfortunately invented some even more stupid habits In the process!
Anyway, don’t get put off by the term modern.
Contemporary jazz is a rich and fertile terrain of creativity
