In the seventies, it was compulsory to have at least one "free" track on any album for it to be considered out there. Because it was all vinyl in dem ould days, it was a pain to skip tracks so you tended to get used to going for a walk or putting on the kettle during the most obscure tracks. Some free jazz was actually very melodic and thoughtful (long tracks by Keith Jarret quartet or John Coltrane) and quite listenable but other stuff was simply unlistenable.
Occasionally, by mistake, I remember buying albums by Tomasz Stanko (he is now Mr Melodic and beautifuy but in the 70s he made some very obsucre stuff as well), the Spontaneous Music Ensemble, Keith Tippett and others and fininsg to my horror that it was 40 minutes of completely free chaotic banging and noodling.

At the time, the other stuff that I actually liked used to freak my friends out because they thought its was ultra heavy and peculiar but was, compared to teh above stuff, easy listening: Soft MAchine, JOhn McLaughlin, Gong, Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis, Tony Williams, Alan Holdsworth, Eberhard Weber etc.
I still have all those albums but me turn table is wrecked so they are sitting on a shelf for now.

I listen to a lot of Tim Berne... Science Friction is great. It's what I imagine music would sound like if you took loads of drugs. But then, I could be wrong.

Soft Machine, Matching Mole, Chris Corsano and Paul Flaherty, Stellar Regions (Coltrane), Sun Ra, Cecil Taylor, Albert Ayler, Peter Brotzmann, heads like that.

Yo got ornette coleman "Free Jazz". It's a masterpiece, a musical journey and a feast for the ears. I recommend it to any open-minded music lover. Dolphy and Ornettes solos inspiring, Hubbard is beginning to show promise of becoming a great 'free' musician, moving away from the "Messengers". Bass and drum duets are not to be missed.
P.S GET "OUT TO LUNCH" BY DOLPHY! Magnificent!
