Where do I even begin with free jazz, /mu/? I want to get into this, because it sounds interesting, but know no artists. It feels like the natural step from avant-garde.

This album...It woah...All of his works (except the 80s which are decent) are incredible. The way he changed his style so many times is unbeliveable.
