Jazz music-related events during the 1990s
In the 1990s in jazz ,
jazz rap continued progressing from the late 1980s and early 1990s, and incorporated jazz influence into
hip hop . In 1988,
Gang Starr released the debut single "Words I Manifest", sampling
Dizzy Gillespie 's 1962 "
A Night in Tunisia ", and
Stetsasonic released "Talkin' All That Jazz", sampling
Lonnie Liston Smith . Gang Starr's debut LP,
No More Mr. Nice Guy (
Wild Pitch , 1989), and their track "Jazz Thing" (
CBS , 1990) for the soundtrack of
Mo' Better Blues , sampling
Charlie Parker and
Ramsey Lewis . Gang Starr also collaborated with
Branford Marsalis and
Terence Blanchard . Groups making up the collective known as the
Native Tongues Posse tended towards jazzy releases; these include the
Jungle Brothers ' debut
Straight Out the Jungle (Warlock, 1988) and
A Tribe Called Quest 's
People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm (
Jive , 1990) and
The Low End Theory (Jive, 1991).
In the 1990s and 2000s, a number of young musicians emerged, including US pianists
Brad Mehldau ,
Jason Moran and
Vijay Iyer , guitarist
Kurt Rosenwinkel , vibraphonist
Stefon Harris , trumpeters
Roy Hargrove and
Terence Blanchard , saxophonists
Chris Potter and
Joshua Redman , and bassist
Christian McBride .
Well-established jazz musicians, such as
Dave Brubeck ,
Wynton Marsalis ,
Sonny Rollins ,
Wayne Shorter ,
Jessica Williams and
George Benson , continue to perform and record.
In the 1990s, punk jazz and jazzcore began to reflect the increasing awareness of elements of
extreme metal (particularly
thrash metal and
death metal ) in hardcore punk. A new style of "metallic jazzcore" was developed by
Iceburn , from Salt Lake City, and
Candiria , from New York City, though anticipated by Naked City and Pain Killer. This tendency also takes inspiration from jazz inflections in
technical death metal , such as the work of
Cynic and
Atheist .
