Bilbo Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 'Post- Jazz' is one of those meaningless terms that probably indicates a lack of clarity and what it is not more than anything. I would expect this to be jazzy sounding but not swinging, complex harmonies but not that heavy on improvisation. Fact is, you need more detail like what kind of music is he refering to when he uses the term! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4 Strings Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 If post-war means peace time, isn't post-jazz something other than jazz? What's the opposite of jazz? Palma Violets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Post-rock and post-hardcore both tend to have a lot of elements of rock and hardcore but also have a lot of ambient and progressive elements - Cave In, Isis and Devil Sold His Soul are the first bands that jump to mind in those genres, though there are probably better examples - so maybe jazz structures with some progressive rock / fusion elements and string players in this case? As has been said above "post-" is a fairly meaningless and broad term that can apply to more or less anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 'Post-xxxx' means the opposite of 'pre-xxxx', that's to say 'following after'. What came after jazz..? Silence, perhaps, or music..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
