Hi, I'm Austin McBride with Expert Village. Today I'm going to show you how to play some experimental jazz music here on the piano. Experimental jazz is certainly the least of any of the forms of jazz. It's the least popular, should I say. You don't hear anything like this typically on the radio, you don't hear things that are influenced by this on the radio. It's unconventional in every way and because of its' unconventional nature, a lot of people find it to be very beautiful. You rarely hear experimental jazz music played on a single instrument. You won't hear a piano on its' own usually when you're playing or hearing experimental jazz, but, at any rate, I'll show you how to play the piano's part of experimental jazz because it often does play a very large and a crucial part. So, anyway, experimental jazz is often called "free jazz" because you're free to do whatever the hell you want to do. So, in an example here, we'll just start in whatever kind of timing or whatever kind of idea comes to me as I start playing. So really it's basically just playing jazz music as though a little kid would play. And that was experimental jazz!
