Contemporary jazz gained momentum in the 1960s with the arrival of free music, which borke down tonal structures and threw the door wide open to experimentation with avant-garde languages, folk traditions and aleatoric forms. In the 1970s this quest became more rarefied and chamber-like, while the 1980s ushered in a post-modern aesthetic that blends improvisation and composition with electronics, world music and learned quotations. That evolution comes to life here in albums such as Goodbye by Anne Walsh, the intimate A Dué by Gerry Schroeder and Mike Vaccaro, Enzo Fiano’s delicate re-imagining of Waltz for Debby, the velvety Jazz Lullabies by Enzo Balestrazzi, and the sonic journey of Oboe in Europe! by the Adriano Mondini X-Press Trio; this and much more await you in this section!
