Australian jazz fusion
Australian jazz fusion is a genre that blends traditional jazz's improvisation and complex harmonies with other musical styles like rock, funk, and world music. Emerging in the late 20th century, especially from the 1970s onward, it reflects Australia's diverse cultural influences and innovative musicianship. Characterized by intricate rhythms, experimental soundscapes, and virtuosic performances, Australian jazz fusion often incorporates indigenous sounds and modern electronic elements, creating a unique and dynamic musical landscape that pushes jazz beyond its traditional boundaries.
