Free Form Jazz 

Free Form Jazz, also known as Free Jazz, is a style characterized by its departure from traditional jazz conventions. It emphasizes improvisation with minimal or no adherence to predetermined structures like chord changes or time signatures. Musicians in Free Form Jazz often explore unconventional techniques and experimental sounds, aiming for spontaneity and creative expression.

Key features include:

  1. Improvisation: Musicians freely improvise without strict guidelines.
  2. Avant-Garde Influence: Embraces avant-garde elements, pushing boundaries of musical expression.
  3. Minimal Structure: Moves away from typical jazz forms, allowing for open-ended compositions.

This genre emerged in the late 1950s and remains influential in avant-garde music circles, fostering innovation and pushing the limits of what jazz can express.
