Boogie Woogie Boogie Woogie is a piano style which is blues and

riff based. The left hand has a steady ostinato andthe right hand is very blues oriented. Many jazzpianists, like Oscar Peterson, and even Bill Evans,started as Boogie Woogie piano players. BoogieWoogie is somewhat of a precursor to R&B andRock And Roll. Fats Waller would sometimesquote a Boogie Woogie Riff, but more as a

joke..Meade Lux Lewis was the master of Boogie Woogie.

Gypsy Jazz Gypsy jazz (also known as gypsy swing or hot club jazz) is a style of jazz

music often said to have been started by guitarist Jean "Django"

Reinhardt in the 1930s.[1] Because its origins are largely in France it isoften called by the French name, "jazz manouche", or alternatively,"manouche jazz", even in English language sources. Django wasforemost among a group of Gypsy guitarists working in and aroundParis in the 1930s through the 1950s, a group which also included thebrothers Baro, Sarane, and Matelo Ferret and Reinhardt's brotherJoseph "Nin-Nin" Reinhardt.[

Many of the musicians in this style worked in Paris in various popularMusette ensembles. The Musette style waltz remains an importantcomponent in the Gypsy jazz repertoire. Reinhardt was noted forcombining a dark, chromatic Gypsy flavor with the swing articulation of the period. This combination is critical to this style of jazz. In additionto this his approach continues to form the basis for contemporaryGypsy jazz guitar. Reinhardt's most famous group, the Quintette du HotClub de France, also brought fame to jazz violinist Stphane Grappelli.

Modal Modal jazz is jazz that uses musical modes rather than chord progressions

as a harmonic framework. Originating in the late 1950s and 1960s, modal jazz is characterized by Miles Davis's "Milestones" (1958), Kind of Blue(1959), and John Coltrane's classic quartet from 1960 64.[2] Otherimportant performers include Bill Evans, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter,and McCoy Tyner.[2] Though the term comes from the use of the pitches

of particular modes (or scales) in the creation of solos, modal jazzcompositions or accompaniments may only or additionally make use of the following techniques:[2]

slow-moving harmonic rhythm, where single chords may last four tosixteen or more measures

pedal points[3] and drones absent or suppressed standard functional chord progressions quartal harmonies or melodies

Free Free jazz is an approach to jazz music that was first developed in the 1950s

and 1960s. Though the music produced by free jazz composers variedwidely, the common feature was a dissatisfaction with the limitations of bebop, hard bop, and modal jazz, which had developed in the 1940s and1950s. Each in their own way, free jazz musicians attempted to alter,extend, or break down the conventions of jazz, often by discarding

hitherto invariable features of jazz, such as fixed chord changes or tempos.While usually considered experimental and avant-garde, free jazz has alsooppositely been conceived as an attempt to return jazz to its "primitive",often religious roots, and emphasis on collective improvisation.

Free jazz is most strongly associated with the 1950s innovations of OrnetteColeman and Cecil Taylor and the later works of saxophonist JohnColtrane. Other important pioneers included Charles Mingus, Eric Dolphy,Albert Ayler, Archie Shepp, Joe Maneri and Sun Ra. Although today "free jazz" is the generally-used term, many other terms were used to describethe loosely-defined movement, including "avant-garde", "energy music"and "The New Thing"

Fusion Jazz fusion, fusion, or jazz-rock is a musical fusion genre that developed

from mixing funk and R&B rhythms and the amplification and electroniceffects of rock music, complex time signatures derived from non-Westernmusic and extended, typically instrumental compositions with a jazzapproach to lengthy group improvisations, often using wind and brass anddisplaying a high level of instrumental technique. The term "jazz rock" is

often used as a synonym for "jazz fusion" as well as for music performedby late 1960s and 1970s-era rock bands that added jazz elements to theirmusic. Some progressive rock is also labelled "fusion".[1]

After a decade of popularity during the 1970s, fusion expanded itsimprovisatory and experimental approaches through the 1980s and 1990s.Fusion albums, even those that are made by the same group or artist, mayinclude a variety of styles. Rather than being a codified musical style,fusion can be viewed as a musical tradition or approach.

Smooth Smooth jazz is a genre of music that grew out of jazz fusion and is influenced by

R&B, funk, rock, and pop music styles (separately, or, in any combination). Modern derivatives of the genre include the more-recent New Adult

Contemporary format of broadcast radio. "Smooth jazz" has been successful as aradio format; however, in 2007, the popularity of the format began to slide.Consequently, it was abandoned by several high-profile radio stations across theU.S.A., perhaps most notably by WQCD (now WEMP) in New York and KKSF in SanFrancisco. Many industry insiders have speculated that the smooth jazz formatmay die out, particularly with many of industry giant Clear ChannelCommunications' stations dropping the genre.] Critics of the company, however,blame Clear Channel for the format's decline, citing too much repetition of asharply-reduced number of tracks on Clear Channel-owned stations that alienatedmany listeners. Despite the format's demise on commercial radio, a growingnumber of non-commercial stations have taken up the music. In addition, smooth

jazz concerts, recording sales as well as increased smooth jazz offerings on theInternet continue to show strong fan support for the genre.

NeoClassic/Young Lions Link To Jazztruth article Neo-bop is a style of jazz that emerged in the 1980s as a reaction against

free jazz and jazz fusion. In the United States it is associated with WyntonMarsalis and "The Young Lions." The effort earned praise and alsocriticism. Miles Davis called it "warmed over turkey"[1] and othersdeemed it to be too dependent on the past. The movement, however,received praise from Time (magazine) and others who welcomed thereturn of more accessible forms of jazz.[2] There were also those whodeemed it a valid evolution from hard bop.
