Avant-garde jazz (also known as avant-jazz, experimental jazz, or "new thing")[1][2] is a style of music and improvisation that combines avant-garde art music and composition with jazz.[3] It originated in the early 1950s and developed through to the late 1960s.[4] Originally synonymous with free jazz, much avant-garde jazz was distinct from that style.[5]
