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.

Jazz Rock (also called Jazz Rock Fusion and later, more simply, only Fusion) is a perfect example of contamination at 360 ° sound emerged in the late Sixties and early Seventies. A multitude of musicians from at least three extractions music different, driven by three needs creative / expressive, too, different, and have created an innovative sound universe, full of wonderful insights and talents. In Jazz Rock have been fed, many young jazz musicians who wanted to take the lessons of past masters and clothe, electrified, with the "colors" (styles, technologies and liturgies) of the time, many rock performers who wanted to overcome the boundaries of simplicity (not only harmonic) of all genres, and finally, urban funk, nascent, energetic soundtrack of the new African-American culture.

to indicating only by way of pure simplicity, the first recordings revealed that the contamination of the new world Jazz, the two names that would put almost all agree are: Frank Zappa and Miles Davis, with the album "Hot Rats" ('69) for the first, "In a Silent Way "('69) and" Bitches Brew "('70) for the second.
