Modern Creative
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Modern Creative is a genre of jazz music that combines older jazz genres like fusion, bop, and free with more contemporary musical styles such as funk, pop, and rock. All Music Guide has the following definition: "Continuing the tradition of the '50s to '60s free-jazz mode, Modern Creative musicians may incorporate free playing into structured modes — or play just about anything." [1] Examples include German jazz clarinet player Theo Jörgensmann and tenor saxophonist Gerd Dudek.
