Free Jazz
Free jazz is an experimental approach to jazz improvisation that developed in the late 1950s and early 1960s when musicians attempted to change or break down jazz conventions, such as regular tempos, tones, and chord changes.

In Muslim countries, Saturday is the first day of the week and thus Tuesday is the fourth day of the week. The English name is derived from Old English ''Tiwesdæg'' and Middle English ''Tewesday,'' meaning "Tīw's Day", the day of Tiw or Týr, the god of single combat, and law and justice in Norse mythology. Tiw was equated with Mars in the ''interpretatio germanica'', and the name of the day is a translation of Latin ''dies Martis''.
