What it is, what to hear first, and what sits next to it.
Nu jazz is a loosely defined style of Electronic-based music that revolves around and is heavily influenced by the performance aspect of Jazz music. These aspects can be considered within the jazz-influenced arrangements; jazzy textures; jazz samples; the live "feel" and "groove" of jazz; and even adding live jazz instrumentation in tandem with the electronic-based jazz music. The stylistic origins of nu jazz can be traced down to various styles of Jazz Fusion and EDM. .
