    In the 1960s, European jazz musicians used the jazz idiom to develop their own national styles and explore their roots, as they were influenced by American free jazz musicians touring Europe in response to international politics and anti-materialism sentiments. In the Netherlands, musicians like Pim Jacobs, Frans Elsen, and Willem Breuker developed the Dutch improvisation scene through collective improvisation and free jazz. Breuker's ensemble ICP performed controversial large-scale improvised performances with theatrical and visual elements that engaged with socio-political themes, bringing jazz into the avant-garde art world in a politically informed way.
