Avant-garde jazz (also known as avant-jazz) is a style of music and improvisation that combines avant-garde art music and composition with jazz. Avant-jazz often sounds very similar to free jazz but differs in that despite its distinct departure from traditional harmony it has a predetermined structure over which improvisation may take place. This structure may be composed note for note in advance partially or even completely.
