==== Electronic music ==== [[File:Nils-Petter-Molvær_DSC03648_NY.jpg|thumb|left|[[Nils Petter Molvær]] is considered a pioneer of future jazz, a genre that fuses jazz and electronic music.]] Although jazz-rock fusion reached the height of its popularity in the 1970s, the use of electronic instruments and rock-derived musical elements in jazz continued in the 1990s and 2000s. Musicians using this approach include [[Pat Metheny]], [[John Abercrombie (guitarist)|John Abercrombie]], [[John Scofield]] and the Swedish group [[Esbjörn Svensson Trio|e.s.t.]] Since the beginning of the 1990s, electronic music had significant technical improvements that popularized and created new possibilities for the genre. Jazz elements such as improvisation, rhythmic complexities and harmonic textures were introduced to the genre and consequently had a big impact in new listeners and in some ways kept the versatility of jazz relatable to a newer generation that did not necessarily relate to what the traditionalists call real jazz (bebop, cool and modal jazz).<ref>Nicholson, Stuart (January 3, 2003), [https://jazztimes.com/features/jazztronica-a-brief-history-of-the-future-of-jazz/ "Jazztronica: A Brief History of the Future of Jazz"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190713032002/https://jazztimes.com/features/jazztronica-a-brief-history-of-the-future-of-jazz/|date=July 13, 2019}}, ''[[JazzTimes]]''.</ref> Artists such as [[Squarepusher]], [[Aphex Twin]], [[Flying Lotus]] and sub genres like [[Intelligent dance music|IDM]], [[drum 'n' bass]], [[jungle music|jungle]] and [[techno]] ended up incorporating a lot of these elements.<ref>Kalouti, Noor, et al.
