Overview

Nu jazz typically ventures further into the electronic territory than does its close cousin, acid jazz.[3] Nu jazz can be very experimental in nature and can vary widely in sound and concept.[3] The sound departs further from its blues roots than acid jazz does, and instead explores electronic sounds and ethereal jazz sensualities.[3] "The star of Nu jazz is the music itself and not the individual dexterity of the musicians."[3] Examples of notable nu jazz artists include Thundercat, Flying Lotus, Robert Glasper, Moses Boyd, The Comet Is Coming, and The Cinematic Orchestra.[4]
