=== Jazz pluralism === [[File:Cassandra_Wilson.jpg|thumb|left|200px|[[Cassandra Wilson]] is a jazz vocalist renowned for blending traditional jazz with blues, folk, and African influences.]] Since the 1990s, jazz has been characterized by a pluralism in which no one style dominates, but rather a wide range of styles and genres are popular. Individual performers often play in a variety of styles, sometimes in the same performance. Pianist [[Brad Mehldau]] and [[The Bad Plus]] have explored contemporary rock music within the context of the traditional jazz acoustic piano trio, recording instrumental jazz versions of songs by rock musicians. The Bad Plus have also incorporated elements of free jazz into their music. A firm avant-garde or free jazz stance has been maintained by some players, such as saxophonists [[Greg Osby]] and [[Charles Gayle]], while others, such as [[James Carter (musician)|James Carter]], have incorporated free jazz elements into a more traditional framework.

Supergroup [[Snarky Puppy]] adopted this trend, allowing players like [[Cory Henry]]<ref>{{cite web|author=David Hochman|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidhochman/2018/05/15/grammy-winning-keyboardist-cory-henry-on-inspiration-and-funky-improvisation/#72e76b0738ce|title=Grammy-Winning Keyboardist Cory Henry On Inspiration And Funky Improvisation|website=[[Forbes]]|date=May 15, 2018|access-date=May 16, 2018}}</ref> to shape the grooves and harmonies of modern jazz soloing.
