You are both very helpful. I can appreciate pure "theory" music and pure "feel" music but was just not sure where free jazz lies on that spectrum. I guess it's kind of a mix where you have theory monsters just letting go and being free to play from the soul. That's how I like to picture Coltrane. But I do like the structure of a good line with elements of free improvisation which is why I currently gravitate towwards the classic Bebop. Will be scrolling through this thread for other albums to check out.

You should check out Sonny Sharrock's Ask the Ages. It's free jazz but also very accessible
