Thing is that jazz has enough diversity to accommodate for different sounds without greatly changing what the genre is. You have to do more than incorporate electronic instruments for a genre that's built on freedom and new ideas, at least in my eyes.

I still dig a lot under the nu jazz umbrella, I just contest the idea of the genre.
