Belgian Modern Jazz

Belgian Modern Jazz is a style of jazz music that emerged in Belgium in the late 1950s and early 1960s. It is characterized by its use of complex harmonies, improvisation, and a focus on collective improvisation. It is often seen as a bridge between traditional jazz and the avant-garde. Belgian Modern Jazz is heavily influenced by American jazz, but also incorporates elements of European classical music, as well as African and Latin American rhythms. It is often seen as a more experimental and progressive form of jazz, and is often associated with the free jazz movement.
