While there are certainly artists working within the idiom who take an insular approach to their creativity, at its best the form allows itself to be influenced by music (and art, for that matter) well beyond the frontiers of what we would consider jazz. Albare is an artist who exemplifies this attitude. His work displays the influences of \u201860s bossa nova, and Wes Montgomery, but he\u2019s also inspired by Jimi Hendrix.<\/p>\n<p>That said, you\u2019re not likely to hear any explicit echoes of Hendrix\u2019s style on <i>Freedom<\/i>.
