Modern jazz encompasses progressive approaches to jazz from the 1960s onward, blending traditional improvisational elements with contemporary influences from funk, Latin, hip-hop, and electronic music. The sound ranges from groove-oriented vibraphone and marimba explorations to experimental piano trios and boundary-pushing brass compositions. It represents jazz as a living art form that continuously evolves while maintaining its core emphasis on spontaneity and musical conversation.
