Not For The Mainstream

R&B-based Jazz - ala Grover Washington, Dave McMurray, Walter Beasley, Gerald Albright
I use the term Nu Jazz because it's a blend of multiple JAZZ forms (as described above), but in a way that NEW& contemporary.
Also, because... you have to use various categories for your tunes to continue to chart.
Like if you create three songs & you put them in the same category... like EXPERIMENTAL, only the most RECENT will chart statistically.

my Ai (well ok, it's Google's Ai) tells me Nu jazz is a modern fusion genre that combines traditional jazz elements with contemporary styles like hip hop, funk, electronic music, and improvisation...my ears tell me this sounds brilliant and that they love listening to it, great work here!

Ah, I like the coolness of this piece! Lounge music that gets your head bopping and feet tapping! Very well produced and put together!
Hey, Whatup GeeS1... Yes, the term JAZZ has become rather nebulous these days... and can mean almost anything. I always try to make distinctions: Traditional - Ala Miles Davis Quintet (Miles, Hancock, Carter, Shorter & Williams) BeBop & Swing Parker & Gillespie, Benny Goodman & Ellington Fusion (Electric & Rock) - Ala Return To Forever, Tony Williams Lifetime, Mahavishnu Orch Fusion (Funk) - Hancock's Headhunters (most notably), Bela Fleck &Flecktones
