==Jazz== {{Redirect|Progressive jazz|other uses|Progressive jazz (disambiguation)}} {{See also|Bebop|Cool jazz|Third stream|Jazz fusion}} '''Progressive jazz''' is a form of [[big band]] that is more complex{{sfn|Ake|Garrett|Goldmark|2012|p=131}} or experimental.<ref name="AMProgJazz">{{cite web|title=Progressive Jazz|url=http://www.allmusic.com/subgenre/progressive-jazz-ma0000012362|website=[[AllMusic]]}}</ref> It originated in the 1940s with arrangers who drew from [[modernist]] composers such as [[Igor Stravinsky]] and [[Paul Hindemith]].{{sfn|Ake|Garrett|Goldmark|2012|p=131}}{{refn|group=nb|According to academic Tim Wall, the most significant example of the struggle between [[Tin Pan Alley]], African American, [[art music|vernacular and art discourses]] was in jazz. As early as the 1930s, artists attempted to cultivate ideas of "symphonic jazz", taking it away from its perceived vernacular and black American roots. These developments succeeded in the respect that many people today no longer consider certain forms of jazz as popular music.{{sfn|Wall|2013|pp=42β43}} }} Its "progressive" features were replete with dissonance, atonality, and brash effects.{{sfn|Butler|2002|pp=103β105}} Progressive jazz was most popularized by the bandleader [[Stan Kenton]] during the 1940s.{{sfn|Ake|Garrett|Goldmark|2012|p=131}} Critics were initially wary of the idiom.{{sfn|Ake|Garrett|Goldmark|2012|p=131}} [[Dizzy Gillespie]] wrote in his autobiography: "They tried to make Stan Kenton a 'white hope', called modern jazz and my music 'progressive', then tried to tell me I played 'progressive' music. I said, 'You're full of shit!' 'Stan Kenton? There ain't nothing in my music that's cold, cold like his."{{sfn|Gillespie|2009|p=337}} '''Progressive big band''' is a style of big band or [[swing music]] that was made for listening, with denser, more modernist arrangements and more room to improvise. The online music guide [[AllMusic]] states that, along with Kenton, musicians like [[Gil Evans]], [[Toshiko Akiyoshi]], [[Cal Massey]], [[Frank Foster (jazz musician)|Frank Foster]], [[Carla Bley]], [[George Gruntz]], [[David Amram]], [[Sun Ra]], and [[Duke Ellington]] were major proponents of the style.<ref name="AMProgBigBand">{{cite web|title=Progressive Big Band|url=http://www.allmusic.com/subgenre/progressive-big-band-ma0000012127|website=[[AllMusic]]}}</ref>
