These bands impressed the formation of native bands in Russia and also the Ukraine, notably the primary Concert Jazz Band of Leningrad pianist Leopold Teplisky, who had gained official support to go to the us to listen to jazz and collect scores.

After a amount of official disapproval swing bands emerged within the cities, typically taking part in at restaurants. The fox trot caught on within the late Twenties, as did the Charleston or tango. Factories provided free fox trot lessons for his or her staff. A Leningrad-based jazz orchestra led by classically trained Yakov Skoromovsky appeared in Soviet films, and a number of other bands recorded for the state record company.<br />

In 1939, a politician guide to the organization of song and dance and jazz orchestras was printed. In Moscow, jazz bands played between shows at movie theaters. the highest Soviet jazz musicians of the Thirties were Leonid Utesov and Alexander Tsafsman. whereas Utesov custom-made foreign influences to national tastes and designs, Tsafsman adopted those influences to form a cosmopolitan, Westernized music (Starr 1990, 132). In 1937, several of Tsafsman’s band were transferred to the newly-formed State Jazz Orchestra of the USSR .

However, during the era of Cold war, performing or publishing jazz music was prohibited. The Moscow authorities In 1949, confiscated musical instruments like saxophones and lots of musicians were arrested and sent to the gulags.

A fusion of country music and black rock and roll (derived from boogie), rock was created by white artists in the mid-fifties. Over the next decade, it adopted the effective rhythm sections of rhythm and blues and profited by carrying soul and other types of American music forward. At the same time it received support from new recording and production methods and made use of the electric instruments that had appeared with the urban blues.</div>

Instrumental performances became increasingly important not only with rock - leading to the appearance of 'guitar heroes' - but also with the transformation of musical forms. In the late sixties, 'rockers' invaded realms hitherto reserved for better-informed kinds of music, such as classical, jazz and certain types of traditional non-European music.</div>

Did jazz die in the eighties?
Maybe it died years earlier, with Ornette Coleman, Gill Evans, Charlie
Parker, or even, simply, the minute it left New Orleans. All this is
surely debatable. But the only fact that matters is this: the explosion
of black American music at the beginning of the century has turned the
history of music upside down.<br />

The immense musical river that set
off from New Orleans has spawned numerous tributaries and today has
arrived at its delta. Some of its large streams have got lost. In this
decompartmentalized, cosmopolitan and multicoloured space, the
standard-bearers of jazz have disappeared. They have left room for a
permissiveness and a wild variety of individual styles, all carried by
the impulse that was called swing in the thirties, which, in
diversifying, has lost none of its power.<br />

With the use of technology, insect sounds and Pygmy choirs have been pirated and injected into recordings. One would be tempted to say that through these high-tech means jazz is rediscovering cultural appropriation - its first function.<br />

Indeed, by the end of the eighties there was more appropriation than ever before, in both acoustic and electric jazz. Jazz musicians have picked up and assimilated everything that has presented itself. This is what one might call a real fusion music.<br />

The old standards and conventions of classical jazz are now only a part of a much large heritage - classical music, urban and rural traditions, academic music and music of the streets, rock and country, free jazz and various other sounds which is being looked at, borrowed from and generally shaken up.<br />

While the fans attached to their<b> </b>collections of 78s- who rebel the compact disc-<b> </b>remain an extreme case, it is true that the sound of jazz and the nature<b> </b>of
the studio work have changed considerably. In the past, recordings were
made in one or several takes, from which the best one would be chosen.
Today multitrack recorders allow the most satisfying fragments from
distinct takes to be edited together. Frequently, especially which
electric fusion groups, the instrumentalists are recorded one after the
other and apiece is put together without any of the different musicians
even meeting in the studio. For all, including acoustic musicians,
corrective work is done on the different tracks, for various reasons,
even to arrive again at the artistic content of the work.<br />

These
operations have evolved considerably with the appearance of digital
technology, which permits the sound to be manipulated by computers.
Synthesizers, too, have benefited from this. New electronic devices
abound: various keyboards, sequencers, rhythm boxes and electronic wind
instruments - not to mention the 'sampler', which permits electronic
verification of the characteristics of a sound in order either to
reproduce it just as it is or to deform it.<br />

In the past the jazz community
could be depicted as one big family divided by domestic conflict, but by
the end of the eighties that family seemed to be dissolving. If
contemporary jazz musicians still return to the standards as an
obligatory exercise in style or as the opportunity to express their
devotion to tradition, the repertoire and practises are no longer
homogeneous enough to allow an encounter between musicians of different
generations.<br />

And jazz fans? Feeling rather lost, the lovers of
early jazz seen great connection between all this and the colourful
legend of New Orleans that brought them to the field in the first place.
Then there are other specialists: collectors of West Coast music and
those fondly reminiscent of the radical sixties and seventies.<br />
All three share a protest against ECM productions, which they consider sterile and devoid of swing.<br />

Since
the forties, big bands were increasingly the domain of white
musicians.In the course of the sixties, Don Ellis outdistanced the
metric preoccupations of jazz-rock. Carla Bley, with her compositions
evoking the worlds of Charles Ives, Eric Satie and Kurt Weill,
introduced a dimension of parody.<br />

As for Gil Evans
and George Russell, their invariably avant-garde writing led them to the
dismantling of the structures of the big band, frequently shrinking the
wind section, shifting the weight to the rhythm section, and adopting a
freedom inherited from free jazz. <i>Aura</i> (1989) was the first record Miles Davis brought out with a large group since he recorded <i>Quiet Night</i> with Gill Evans in 1962.</div>

The
different forms of improvised music - still conveniently collected under
the label of jazz - were not, of course, the exclusive property of
black musicians at this time. Numerous white musicians also appropriated
the heritage of jazz: David Liebman and Richard Beirach, more than
anyone else, continued to deepen the heritage of John Coltrane and Bill
Evans; Keith Jarrett gave new life to old standards and to the
traditional rhythm section in the vein of Bill Evans; Pat Metheny fed
his super productions, tinged with pop, Brazilian and country music, with
inspirations from Ornette Coleman and Wes Montgomery.<br />

Black producers, from Quincy Jones to Marcus Miller, have had an
undeniable impact in the last decade. But another force since the
sixties has been the white jazz musicians who have changed the direction
of the sound as well, thanks to personalities such as Michael Brecker,
David Sanborn and the guitarist Larry Carlton. These name are always

Such was the significance of Quincy Jones' <i>Back on the Block</i>,
which came out in 1990. Taking stock of this century as it nears its
end, Jones - Count Basie's former arranger and Michael Jackson's producer
at that time - assembled a few of the great names of Black American
music, from Ray Charles to Miles Davis, along with Ella Fitzgerald and
Dizzy Gillespie.<br />

Soul music and rap welcomed jazz, as if to
remind it they grew up together in black churches and on the street.
From the delicate neo-classical touch of the pianist Geri Allen to the
fanfares of Lester Bowie (the Art Ensemble of Chicago's trumpet
player), along with the saxophonists Kenny Garrett (like Geri Allen,
trained in Detroit with the trumpet players Marcus Belgrave) or Gary
Thomas (discovered while with Jack DeJohnette and Miles Davis) - the
same concern with roots, the same attention to the latest developments
of funk, and openness of spirit that reflected the lifestyle and choices
of the sixties loft generation.<br />

<br />
<b>Historic Reissues Take Over The Recording Market</b><br />
<br />
Now<b> </b>a
well-recognized and thoroughly accepted form of music, jazz occupies a
solid on music lovers' shelves, side by side with the classics.<br />
<br />
After
1983 - which was, significantly, the year the compact disc was
introduced - record companies suddenly had the opportunity to reissue
and anthologize the recorded heritage of jazz at a lower cost than ever
before. Even with so much focus on looking back, however, in the
eighties there were still some new developments, largely restricted to
neo-bop and commercial productions.<br />
<br />
<b>The Coming Of Neo-Bop</b><br />
<br />
With the brothers Branford and Wynton
Marsalis as its stars, neo-bop was the field developed by an elite
group of young musicians trained in the school of Art Blakey's Jazz
Messengers. Heirs to hard bop, on which they put a new turn after
listening to the music of the Miles Davis quintet of the sixties, these
young musicians were regularly accused of being nothing but copies of
earlier models.<br />

Their astoundingly advanced technique and flawless
performances deprived them, said some critics, of that element of risk
that made their predecessors interesting.<br />
<br />
These not-very-subtle
observations ignored the importance of the traditional element in black
American music. On top of that, one must remember that despite its
lightning-fast evolution in just a few decades, jazz has always counted
more followers than innovators.<br />

aroused thirty year later.<br />

In the seventies<b>, </b>jazz entered<b> </b>a
neo classical phase. From Archie Shepp to Martial Solal, the rereading
of yesterday's repertoire became common practise. At the same time,
with Lee Konitz, Dexter Gordon or Art Pepper, a young public
rediscovered the figures of free jazz. Increasingly numerous references
to classical music drew from a wide range of sources.<br />

Generally
speaking, in the United States as in the rest of the world, young musicians
claimed an encyclopedic culture in which classical, rock and world
music went side by side. From jazz, musicians retained an impressive ability

<b>Jazz Bursts into pieces </b><br />
<br />
Born at the
start of the century, jazz must now take stock. are its newest
incarnations indications of an art running out of breath or the sign of
an expanding tradition? Those who ask this question ignore the fact
that, around the world, different types of music outside the mainstream
have been inspired by jazz: they constitute fanfare for the century
that is nearing its end.<br />

In some circles, the thirties
are hot and jazz is fashionable. Its look is evoked in fashion design
and black-and-white advertising photographs.<br />
Its imagery pervades the movies, as the film industry exploits the stereotype of the jazz genius.<br />
its
impact is felt in rock and roll. In other words, the image and the
legend of jazz still have power, even while today's improvised music
tends to detach itself from it.<br />

to satisfy the youthful public well into the eighties, despite the fact
that admirers, the press and even the musicians wearied of it. At the

Instrumental stereotypes and the
somewhat vain virtuosity of jazz-rock guitar players were specifically
called into question. The reaction came from the musicians themselves.
An airier tone, a more limpid melody, a lighter orchestral context -
these qualities were sought after as musicians listened to their elders:
Wes Montgomery, Jim Hall and Bill Evans. But they wanted to mix their
own culture - pop songs and country music- in with this. Guitar players
John Abercrombie and Pat Metheny found the space their aspirations
required at the record label ECM.<br />

<b>ECM Aesthetics</b><br />
<br />
'Editions of Contemporary
Music' : the identity crisis of jazz at the time was captured in the
very name of this label, which did not even dare to name the music it
presented. German Manfred Eicher, a former bassist, established ECM in
1969. He was first noticed for seeking to capture a sound reminiscent of
the acoustics of a concert hall rather than that of smoky club. The
technical enhancements ECM employed - precision of the stereo sound and
reconstitution of the echo, and the crystal-clear renderings of
instruments such as the piano, the vibraphone, and the electric and
acoustic guitars - displeased old discophiles but responded to what
young public concerned with a certain ease in listening (even at the
expense of authenticity) was waiting for.<br />

Later generations,
disappointed by the crumbling of revolutionary ideologies and the
exhaustion of the avant-garde, have focused on defending the environment
and reviving the classics. ECM and the innumerable labels that fell
in step with it suggested a new 'ecology' of recording and concert
giving. The return to the acoustic piano was magnified by the solo
formula, until that point still fairly exceptional in modern jazz.
Solos by Keith Jarret or Paul Bley and duets by Chick Corea with Herbie
Hancock or Gary Burton publicized a chamber music. The jazz musicians
now became a concert artist, and jazz concert benefited by being
listened to as seriously as recitals of classical music.<br />

<br />
<br />
Little by little, the
taste for musical crossbreeding gained acceptance. The term 'fusion' was
given preference over that of jazz-rock, which was considered too
restrictive.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The Brecker Brothers, Randy amd Michael Brecker</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The Brecker Brothers caused a furore. Strengthened
by their experience with John Abercrombie and Billy Cobham in the group
Dreams, they were able to adapt to any context what they inherited from
Coltrane, juggling ternary and binary phrasing with complete ease.
Randy, the trumpet player, and Michael, on sax, became unavoidable
reference points for future instrumentalists, as much for their
contribution to studio work as for their improvisations.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">David Sanborn</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
The alto player
David Sanborn, equally sought after by the studios, practised a fusion
just as joyful, bearing at the same time both the mark of his closeness
with Stevie Wonder and the imprint of Gil Evans' band, in which he spent
some time.<br />

<br /></div>
In late 1970 Wayne Shorter, Joe
Zawinul (piano) and Miroslav Vitous (bass) invited Alphonse Mouzon
(drums) and Airto Moreira (exotic percussion instrument) to create
climates of a most meteorological diversity. Their repertoire was often
put together like classical programme music - it told a story in the
same way symphonic poems compose by European musicians of the 19th
century did.<br />
<br />

<br />
Weather Report's music was then directed toward an
ever-more-diverse fusion of influences, in which the binary scanning of
rock and Latin music became more and more important. In 1974 Vitous made
way for the electric bass player Alphonso Johnson, while Joe Zawinul
began to explore the power of synthesizers. But the group did not
receive the blessing of the public until the 1976 arrival of Jaco
Pastorius, who, until his death in 1987, was the most original virtuoso
of the electric bass.<br />

The records <i>Black Market</i> (1976) and <i>Heavy Weather</i>
(1977) are counted among the finest successes of the genre. On this
last album, the title 'Bridland', which paid homage to the tradition of
the big-band entertaintment of the thirties, was overwhelming success.<br />

Nevertheless, despite the loyalty of a vast audience and the excellent
rhythm tandem of Pastorius and the drummer Peter Erskine, disagreements
between Shorter and Zawinul provoked Weaher Report's breakup in 1985, a
decade and half after its creation.<br />

John
McLaughlin, for example, met with great success with his Mahavishnu
Orchestra, starting in 1971. He allied a virtuosic writing and
incantations inherited from John Coltrane to a concern with technical
performance that excited the rock audience. Mystical, like Coltrane, and
fascinated with India, he blended the metric and modal sophisticated of
Indian music with the rhythmic and harmonic effectiveness of rhythm and
blues.<br />

This,
however, was not the case with Lenny White (drums) and Stanley Clarke
(the first great electric bass soloist), who played with Chick Corea's
group, Return to Forever. As for Corea himself, who had shared in Miles
Davis' first electronics experiments, his keyboard virtuosity and
brilliant writing were seductive. Swinging toward the Spanish with the
addition of the guitarist Al Di Meola, the strong Latin feeling in his
repertoire delighted the public.<br />

Also emerging from Miles Davis' universe, Herbie Hancock created a group
that was more profoundly anchored in the popular African-American
tradition. Leaning on the deep-sounding 'drop' of the drummer Harvey
Mason, Hancock's music became funkier than Davis'. More accessible to the
general public, it was enormously successful, particularly with the
album that takes its title from the name of the group: <i>Head Hunters</i>.<br />

Chick Corea, who was now swinging between acoustic and electronic

returns to formulas close to the spirit of the Miles Davis quintet of
the sixties.<br />

By now fed up with the elitism of free jazz and with rock (which, he said, diverted and weakened rhythm and blues), Miles Davis turned his full attention to popular black music, and particularly to the funk of Sly and the Family Stone. Sly Stone practised a violent and direct aesthetic inherited from James Brown.</div>

In 1968 Miles met Jimi Hendrix, the hero of rock guitar. Hendrix knew how to funnel the force of blues to the universe of pop. Hearing him, Miles Davis understood that the guitar, on the margin until then, was destined to be in the forefront of the evolution of jazz. Indeed, at that point keyboards, bass and even wind instruments were following in the guitar's footsteps, becoming electrified. The volume increased, and new types of sound appeared. After 1969, when Miles recorded <i>In a Silent Way </i>with John McLaughlin, a young British guitarist, electronics were a standard part of his world.</div>

Limiting his written work to a few suggestive measures, hooking his trumpet up to a wa-wa pedal, Miles set off true electronic revels on the records that followed. On them, there was new combination of electric guitar, bass guitar, various keyboards, percussion instruments from the world over, and the binary hammering inherited from Tony Williams.</div>

In England, the line between jazz and rock was a thin one: both forms verged close to rhythm and blues as well as the blues revival. Various future jazz players and rock stars all received their training in Alexis Korner's or Graham Bond's groups. 'Progressive rock' and avant-garde jazz ran on parallel tracks at the end of the decade, and such groups as Soft Machine left a mark entire generations of musicians and listeners.</div>

Many jazz musicians were concerned about the rise of rock. Charles Lloyd, accompanied by Keith Jarrett, for one, was successful in adapting a Coltranian feeling to the melodic ingenuity of the 'folk revival' and Beatles songs - all against the background of a light show. With Cannonball Adderley, in a context oriented more toward the black roots of rhythm and blues, others experimented with the electric piano invented by Harold Rhodes and Leo Fender.<br />

Throughout the sixties Miles Davis was haunted by the short time (1958-9) Bill Evans and John Coltrane were both in his group. Twice he replaced his pianist, first with Wynton Kelly, then with Herbie Hancock, who combined the refinements of Bill Evans and the more vigorous statement of the funk pianist. On the other hand, it took him several years before he found the replacement for John Coltrane in the person of Wayne Shorter.</div>

When he did, a new era opened up for Miles Davis, marked by recordings that today are considered to be masterpieces of modern jazz for small groups. Thus, from one year to the next, E.S.P, <i>Miles Smiles, Nefertiti </i>and<i> Miles In The Sky, </i>among others, raised and then answered a series of musical questions. Davis' quintet was, at that time, a truly experimental group - each entrance into the studio would bring new development.</div>

In this way, the rhythm section exploited the heritage of Bill Evans trio: Herbie Hancock (piano) was suggestive; Ron Carter (bass) no longer stated the tempo systematically but imposed a powerful sense of pulsation; Tony Williams (drums), sophisticated and daring, freed himself from accompanist's role. he took the Elvin Jones' poly rhythm, gave it air, and diversified it by superimposing figures conceived in binary measures. In session after session, the quintet explored a repertoire dependant on Wayne Shorter's innovative ideas. Shorter, a master improviser, showed Davis a way to widen the range of liberties allowed by modal playing even further. On the stage Davis stayed with a more conventional program, but the risks he took in the studio changed the way the public saw the band.</div>

This is how Bill Evans was appraised when free jazz exploded. Later, the critics realized that circumspectly and without being the leader of any particular current, he had led as profound a revolution as John Coltrane or Ornette Coleman. Without ever systematizing the contributions of modal jazz (which he helped found), he drew deep inspiration from it. His work as a composer surely borrowed from his charms of the old standards, of which he was very fond; but he lightened their often limited harmonic frames and broadened the field of melodic possibilities.</div>

More significantly, due to the quality of his touch, he inaugurated a new approach to the jazz piano, which, until that point, had primarily been used as a percussion instrument. Bill Evans was not a barroom piano player; he was a concert pianist. His trio (piano, double bass, drums), which he used as a chamber orchestra, broke new ground.</div>

From 1960 to 1961, Scott LaFaro (bass) and Paul Motian (drums) freed themselves from their role as mere accompanists and became soloist on an equal footing with the piano; the three participated in a triangular conversation. Collective and interactive, improvisation became more than ever a question of mutual listening and finding one's own place while treating the others' with respect. The revolution led by John Coltrane with sound and fury was conducted by Bill Evans' trios with a delicacy that evoked the intimacy of Claude Debussy.</div>

Thus, along with such contemporaries as Jim Hall, who shared his concerns, Bill Evans left his mark on generations of musicians: on pianist, of course (Keith Jarret, Paul Bley and Chick Corea), but also on drummers (Jack DeJohnette), bass players (Gary Peacock), and saxophone players, trumpet players and bandleaders.</div>

After this decade the history of jazz no longer moved in one direction; many tendencies showed themselves on the fringes of free jazz. Besides Charles Mingus and Eric Dolphy, other, influenced by Horace Silver, John Coltrane, Miles Davis and Ornette Coleman (some recording under the Blue Note and Candid labels), declared themselves outside of any identifiable group. Musical Language advanced, feeding both the autonomy of the improviser and the emancipation of rhythm. The players of 'the new thing', involved in a political struggle, embraced their cultural heritage, but, in contrast, a large number of their contemporaries demanded the freedom to control, master and assimilate what they wanted from the cultural environment at large, from classical music to free jazz.</div>

Real, imaginary or
borrowed, personal folklore became one of the major concerns of the
improvisers in the sixties around the world. The unbridled expression of
free jazz served as an instrument for the cultural recovery of
threatened identities. In Western urban societies, the inhabitant of
which were deprived of deep roots, improvisation allowed for
exploitation of the many musical messages transmitted by the media from
the four corners of the world and from every era.<br />

But free jazz,
of course, was not the only agent of this kind of evolution. Other
roads, arising from different forms of music and different cultural
pressures, also opened up in the sixties.<br />

<b>The Road to Change</b><br />
<br />
In
looking to the past, jazz critics, historians and theoreticians have
often neglected those musicians who, coming from swing, formed separate
groups on the fringes of the bop evolution (Nat King Cole, Erroll
Garner) or groups even more modern than the moderns themselves (Herbie
Nichols, Paul Gonsalves). Other have suffered the same neglect for
having advanced at their own pace, removed from the free jazz movement
(Martial Solal, Sonny Rollins), or for having simply stopped in the
clearing they had found in order to explore it in relentless detail
(Oscar Peterson, George Shearing).<br />

<br />
<br />
Two
kids paradoxical and complementary approaches were at work in what was
called,in a failure of nerve, 'European improvised music', rather than
jazz. For some, who turned their backs on the essence of jazz, it was a
question of tracking down the phenomenon of memory in order to free
themselves from it and help them move away from the rigours of the
battlefield of improvisation, many European improvisers were deeply
concerned with their heritage.<br />

If cultural references were the
object of devastating derision for the Dutch drummer Han Bennink and the
German saxophone player Peter Brotzmann, they called forth tender
impulses from Michel Portal when he grabbed the silvery bandonion (a
South American accordion) or evoked his Basque origins. <br />

<br />
Though
an American form, jazz, of course, does have practitioners outside the
United States. France, especially, has embraced jazz since its earliest
days; it can be said that it all began there with Django Reinhardt in
the thirties. Ending France's isolation during World War II, the
American troops arrived in 1944, and the first bebop records were not
long in following. For more than fifteen years there was no safe haven
outside of bebop or New Orleans orthodoxy. Such rare exceptions as
Martial Solal or Andre Hodeir only proved the rule.<br />

With the
explosion of free jazz, however, everything suddenly became possible. In
Europe it became fashionable to reject the criteria of' 'old-fashioned
jazz' at the same time that 'bourgeois' art was being decried.<br />

Throughout Europe, those rare big bands that were still active abandoned
formal dress for blue jeans and left their platforms to mix with each
other in an informal alignment that sometimes moved into a fanfare to
the audience.<br />

The roles inside the band were also called into
question, and some small groups went so far as to do without a rhythm
section altogether, others reduced themselves to a duo. If such changes
were a response to the economic difficulties free jazz - which was not
very marketable - encountered, they were also one way of exploring
special affinities on a more intimate dramatic scale. With such
musicians as Mike Westbrook and Willem Breuker, these 'stagings'
sometimes took on true dramatic form.<br />

<br />
During this time innumerable artists
settle in the warehouses and abandoned studios of certain areas of New
York City and transformed them into living quarters, spaces for work and centers for distributing their records. In these places, the musicians
were able to express themselves and produce their work without having to
be concerned about the commercial aspects of the traditional clubs or
disturbing their neighbors. Interdependent with the elders of free
jazz, they were pre-occupied with the isolation of the free movement and
gladly publicized their concern about returning to a rhythmic and
melodic legibility. Thus, when they listened to Albert Ayler or David
Murray, they made every effort to extract the lyrical dimension of the
music.<br />

The new excitement - which corresponded to a similar
feeling in all the arts - facilitated exchanges between the heirs to
free jazz and bop. Nevertheless, Ornette Coleman then opened his
