Nu Jazz

Nu Jazz: 51 upcoming festivals, including 19 with tickets on sale.

Nu Jazz, also known as electronic jazz or jazztronica, typically blends jazz harmonies and instrumentation with electronic music, funk, and free improvisation, creating an often sophisticated and groove-oriented sound. Emerging in the late 1990s, it evolved from acid jazz by venturing deeper into electronic territories, incorporating influences from house and other contemporary electronic genres. Key artists include St Germain, Jazzanova, and Koop, who exemplify its diverse stylistic fusions. The genre has significantly impacted lounge and downtempo scenes, notably showcased in compilations like Saint-Germain-des-Prés Café.
