jazz and electronics rely on a set of definitions (electronic jazz, electro-jazz and jazz-, jazztronica, jazz, house, neo-jazz future jaz or) trying to catalog the many expressions of sounds that are all head to the admixture of the freedom of jazz with the child sound technology, computers and emulators sound. Many musicians are always looking for new areas in which their creativity can be expressed in something truly new. After the period in which electronic solutions instead of free creativity, in fact, inhibited, creating stereotypes often always the same (this has happened and still happens in pop and dance), talent and intelligence of the musicians managed to find a way "to play" the cold sound of the computer, merge them with acoustic instruments. After the transition from acoustic to electric jazz occurred in the seventies (Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Ornette Coleman), in the eighties musicians like Bill Laswell and Jan Garbarek have their research to the extreme (in a mix of style, unusual sounds and technology ). Among the nineties and the 2000 explosion of the admixture of solutions produced by the computer and jazz (St Germain, DJ Takemura, Perry Hemus, Jazzanova) enters strongly into the charts. The movement is growing and includes not only musicians but also producers, DJs, video makers, visual artists, creating beautiful and multi-media performance. Some names: the producers (often the real team) Squarepusher, Spring Heel Jack, London Elektricity, Landslide, techno musicians such as Laurent Garnier and Carl Craig, the musicians of the traditional jazz scene with the desire to experience such as pianist Bugge Wesseltoft and trumpeter Nils Petter Molvaer. And how can we forget The Cinematic Orchestra, a formation that is perfectly proper synthesis of jazz with electronic sounds.
