Straight-Ahead Jazz is a style of jazz music that is rooted in the bebop tradition of the 1940s and 1950s. It is characterized by a strong emphasis on improvisation, complex harmonic structures, and a driving rhythm section. It is often seen as a more traditional form of jazz, as opposed to more modern styles such as fusion or smooth jazz. Straight-Ahead Jazz is often played in small groups, such as a quartet or quintet, and is often seen as a more intimate style of jazz.
