This article is an attempt to parallel literature and jazz music, which, according to the Belgian poet Robert Goffi created new trends at the beginning of the 20th century. Touched by the cosmopolitanism of Blaise Cendrars, the simultaneous poetry of Guillaume Apollinaire, the author tries to synthesize a new spirit in a new poetry in syncopated rhythm. He sees musical improvisation as an element that can shape creative writing in various aspects, from narrative to structure, reflecting the surrealist-inspired need to create outside the traditional ontological framework. According to him, jazz not only illustrates the quest for independence in the artistic and social spheres, but is also a means to reach the unconscious.
