Talk:List of jazz genres

Missing Jazz Genre
There is a missing aspect about kinds of jazz. There is an amalgamation of soft rock and easy jazz called "New Wave" music. New wave music is often very emotional in presentation, and began in the early 1970s and continued into the 1990s. KTWV radio had CDs made of the top ten best New Wave music of the year for each year during the 1980s.

I cannot remember my favorites, but Bernward Koch and his Dancing Atoms album was really exciting New Wave to me. There were so many others, too, but I have moved from southern California in 1999 so I am out of the link.

New Wave is rock, not jazz. It sounds like you might be referring to jazz fusion or smooth jazz, but Bernward Koch is a new age musician. 47.72.48.93 (talk) 12:04, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

No citations
The header at the top of the page says that there are no citations, but there doesn't need to be any. This is just a list of other wiki pages and then some token facts taken from them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Superdupercranman (talk • contribs) 14:40, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

Modal Jazz
Would you say that modal jazz began in the 1950s? Luke Davis (talk) 10:27, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

Sambalanço, Bossa jazz, Samba jazz

Needs cleanup
This list could stand som clean-up. Some geners are missing (e.g. manouche); others are just alternate names or descriptions of genrea already listed (e.g. "Hot jazz", "Gypsy Jazz", and "Manouche" are different names for the same thing.

Some listings are questionable (e.g. "Ragtime"). IF you ask most ragtime experts and afficianados they will tell you -- most emphatically -- that ragtime is NOT jazz. There are some commonalities between the genres, just as there are commonalities between classical and romantic music, but one is not a "genre" or "sub-genre" of the other. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.95.43.253 (talk) 22:30, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Appropriate inclusion
Several times recently there has been alternating addition and removal of line entries for Dark jazz/Doomjazz, Ethio jazz, Hot club and Punk jazz, which do not have corresponding articles. Instead of this to-and-fro, I am creating this Talk page topic where any argument for their inclusion can be put forward. AllyD (talk) 11:47, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
