Genre: Progressive Jazz

Progressive Jazz is a term coined by Stan Kenton to refer to a type of experimental and somewhat dissonant big-band jazz music of the 1950s. The music was characterized by complex, loud, and brassy voicings with arrangements -- often titled "fugue" or "elegy" -- that convey an association with art music.
