Doesn't stop it from being really cool, though. I only had the chance to hear the second link, but it was good stuff. I really liked how the piece evolved over the 6 minutes; the pianist in particular was really good at keeping you intrigued and interested over the whole thing.

All right, I'm following your logic, learning some things, etc. Glad you had a chance to check them out and set me straight. I've been, probably, calling lots of things free jazz that aren't. That are just wild and sporadic.
Here's another attempt, with Skerik's Syncopated Taint Septet.
Skerik is a friend of Les Claypool, playing in Les' Fancy Band and Frog Brigade, as well as playing in Garage a Trois, Sadhappy, Dead Kenny G's, Critters Buggin, and more.
