Free Jazz is a subgenre of Jazz music that differs from conventional Jazz in its emphasis on improvisation without the confinements of the normal structural elements of a Jazz composition including Form, Chord Progress, and Melody. This style emerged in the 1960s with musicians such as Ornette Coleman, Cecil Taylor, and later, John Coltrane.
