JAZZ: Free Jazz, AVANT GARDE: Free Improvisation

Details:
Jazzed Edge explores the Jazz Idiom using just a single instrument, Korg's KAOSSILATOR; yielding an inherently electronic nu jazz master blend of drums, sax, piano, organ, brass, bass, bells, guitar and other synthetic musical timbres. Sculpted from a series of two-bar vamps, the songs joyfully explore an eclectic mix of jazzy grooves with elements of free jazz, fusion, avant garde, nu jazz and more traditional elements.
