Punk Jazz
Punk jazz is a genre of music that combines elements of jazz, especially improvisation, with the instrumentation and performance style of punk rock. The term was first used to describe James Chance and the Contortions' 1979 album ''Buy''. Punk jazz is closely related to free jazz, no wave, and loft jazz, and has since significantly inspired post-hardcore and alternative hip hop. Notable proponents of the genre include John Zorn, Arto Lindsay, Elliott Sharp, and James Chance, among others. History 1980s The first to use this fusion of genres were The Stooges, on the Fun House album, more specifically in 2 songs, the title "Fun House" and "1970" as always, they were people ahead of their time since they did this in the year 1970, several years before the genre expanded. Late 1970s New York no wave bands broke with blues rock-influenced punk in a style that instead combined elements such as free jazz noise, experimental drone rock, and other avant-garde influences.
