UK Contemporary Jazz

UK Contemporary Jazz is a genre of jazz music that has emerged in the United Kingdom in the last few decades. It is a fusion of jazz, funk, soul, hip-hop, and other genres, and is often characterized by its use of electronic instruments and technology. It is often seen as a more accessible form of jazz, and is often more upbeat and danceable than traditional jazz. UK Contemporary Jazz often features improvisation, and is often heavily influenced by the music of the African diaspora.
