I agree with most what's been posted, but I want to add that a lot of this stuff takes some aclimating to. For instance, Eric Dolphy aside, most people have to work up to something like free jazz. Most people don't like Peter Brotzman at first because they lack the context to interpret it. More often than not, you revisit a piece that you originally found really insurmountable, and you end up finding to not be a big deal.

You just need to exercise those mental music muscles for this type of stuff. A lot.
