Abstract Rhythm in Time DigitalART With Apple Music Jazz 1970 Playlist 498 Songs by Alan Silva

Where did jazz head in the 1970’s? The music expanded texturally and technologically as it moved away from the swing, and bebop rhythmic continuums. Much of the music broke free of the traditional 12, 16, 32 bar and A-A-B-A song forms of the previous two decades. Complex compositions became the norm, marrying tightly written sections with improvisation, rooted in structures found in classical and music from around the globe. The technology advancements allowed for instrumentation to change drastically, and opened innovations mined to this day.
