Avant-Garde Jazz differs from free jazz

Avant-Garde Jazz differs from free jazz in that it has more structure in the ensembles (more of a "game plan") although the individual improvisations are generally just as free of conventional rules. Obviously there is a lot of overlap between free jazz and avant-garde jazz; most players in one idiom often play in the other "style" too. In the best avant-garde performances it is difficult to tell when compositions end and improvisations begin; the goal is to have the solos be an outgrowth of the arrangement. As with free jazz, the avant-garde came of age in the 1960s and has continued almost unnoticed as a menacing force in the jazz underground, scorned by the mainstream that it influences. Among its founders in the mid-to-late '50s were pianist Cecil Taylor, altoist Ornette Coleman and keyboardist-bandleader Sun Ra. John Coltrane became the avant-garde's most popular (and influential) figure, and from the mid-'60s on, the avant-garde innovators made a major impact on jazz, helping to push the music beyond bebop. -- Scott Yanow

New Thing at Newport (Impulse!)





More than a simple long player, New Thing At Newport stands as a symbolic snapshot; the meaning of this package lies not only with the music, but with its context. Recorded at the Newport Jazz Festival on July 2, 1969, the “New Thing” of the title refers to the term used at the time for the wave of young musicians who sought to probe the boundaries of jazz. They were following a trail started by Coltrane, whose own perpetual quest is represented in his two extended performances here which find him searching for a voice outside what his classic quartet could provide. Shepp’s performance in the second half of the album, with the throaty howl of his horn and his brazen taste for experimentation, acts as rejoinder and instigant to Coltrane. In the months following Newport, Coltrane would disband his immortal quartet and reconstitute his music with a whole new set of young free-thinking musicians. Shepp’s music developed parallel to Coltrane in a series of classic albums for Impulse and Actuel. A period of such intense transformation could never be traced to a single starting point; however, New Thing at Newport feels like the final moment before jazz was pushed off its precipice only to sprout a whole new set of wings.
