I love Anthony Braxton, Ornette Coleman, Ronald Shannon Jackson, James Blood Ulmer.
|
Ornette Coleman is pure ear sex, and I am of the opinion that 'The Shape Of Jazz To Come' as amazing as it is was all part of the build-up to 'This Is Our Music' aka the Daddy of swinging free-jazz. In my O.
Plastic saxophones and pocket trumpets ftw |
Well, the torrent finished downloading and now I have 61 albums by Sun Ra. Neat. I just finished listening to "Nuclear War" off of "A fireside chat wtih Satan."
I think I'll check out the shape of jazz too, it may take me a while to get to more artists though. I tend to focus on one musician for a while, instead of multiple ones at once. |
Try Albert Ayler, he wrote some great stuff. If you want some more guitar oriented music, try out Derek Bailey or Sonny Sharrock. Both brilliant as can be IMO.

Although, I would recommend this only for those wanting to find a starting point for Derek Bailey, and not so much free jazz. As far as free jazz goes, I would recommend Ayler (like Frownland said) or some of Cecil Taylor's work from the late 50s/early 60s. |
Well Derek Bailey is among the more avant-garde region of jazz. Wasn't he considered part of the free jazz movement as well? Maybe my research is faulty.
Still a great musician for people who can see past the atonality, as Jack Pat said. |
I am in no way whatsoever an expert on his music, but as far as I know... he's known more for being a pioneer of free improvisation and less as being a somewhat early participant in free jazz. So, (in the end) I would be more inclined to label him as a musician of free improvisation... due to the fact that the majority of his musical output is made up of it...

Ah, I see what you mean now.
