Modern Creative is a genre of jazz that combines older genres like bop, free, and fusion, with contemporary musical styles such as funk, pop, and rock.[1] Allmusic defines it as: "Continuing the tradition of the '50s to '60s free-jazz mode, Modern Creative musicians may incorporate free playing into structured modes — or play just about anything."[2] In the 1980s, a large Modern Creative scene was formed in New York City and has continues to the present day. Musicians working in and around this scene include saxophonists John Zorn, Tim Berne, David Murray, Chris Speed, and Gerd Dudek; trumpeters Butch Morris and Dave Douglas; clarinetists Don Byron and Theo Jörgensmann; guitarist Bill Frisell; pianists Wayne Horvitz, Uri Caine, and Marilyn Crispell; bassists Michael Formanek, William Parker, Mark Dresser, and Drew Gress; cellist Hank Roberts; and drummers Joey Baron, Bobby Previte, and Jim Black.[3]
