Some 'rough' jazz styles in the manner of Ornette Coleman's various rhythm sections with Ed Blackwell in the 60's and his 'Prime Time' band with Denardo Coleman in the 70's-00's.

An abstract non-metric free jazz style.(s)

A straight eighth ballad in the style of Coltrane's 'Naima' or 'After the Rain'.

Some broken-time abstract funk grooves in the style of 'Downtown'NYC jazz musicians like Tim Berne.

A style based on Henry Threadgill's fusion of funk, latin, and New Orleans marching styles.
See any of his recent albums like 'This Brings US To'...'for examples. The most creative player composer on todays scene IMO.

Some more latte day New Orleans style funk.


A style based on pianist Richie Beirach's more up-tempo work in the band 'Quest' with Dave Liebman with very 'active' drums a la Billy Hart.
