🎙 Explore the evolution of THIRD STREAM - PROGRESSIVE JAZZ - MODAL JAZZ, starting from 1937. Dive into the iconic music that revolutionized dance floors:
✨ **Origins**: The whole of Jazz music is sometimes divided into three categories or “streams”: First there was Traditional Jazz (quite formal) which could be seen as the opposite of the experimental, second stream: Modern Jazz. The third stream was reserved for the type of Jazz that was neither, but a merging between Classical Music (particularly Chamber music) and Jazz.
🎵 **Highlights**: Experimentations between these two genres existed long before Modern Jazz, so it wasn’t until 1957 that composer Gunther Schuller coined this ambiguous term. The quest for coexistence between classical music and a popular genre that was partly defined in its non-classical properties (such as improvisation) proved to be a slippery slope. Third Stream Jazz is certainly not a strong subcultural movement, but more a collection of experimental Jazz songs over the course of time. Obviously Third Stream songs are more intricate with longer and deeper progression (thus “Progressive Jazz’) than other types of Jazz, but when the avant-garde of the sixties invented Free Jazz, Third Stream’s relevance shrunk to absolute zero. Now, classical composers could learn more from Jazz than the other way around.
📖 **Evolution**: As a response, Third Stream’s definition was broadened to include crossovers to World Music, yet it remains one of the lesser known Jazz genres. A different successor at the end of the fifties, Modal Jazz, improvises on a series of scales instead of chords. Like the “Math Rock of Jazz”, Modal Jazz is defined (solely) by its highly technical, rational and mathematical structure.
