    Don Cherry's Eternal Rhythm is one of the most instrumentally colourful free jazz albums.

    I fucking love the whole Modal, Post-Bop, Avant-Garde, Free strain of jazz.

    Decent list although I would say that i think to really understand how varied free jazz, avant garde & jazz fusion are they should be their own separate lists. And while I totally understand why, I think these types of lists tend to focus on records that are already in the canon. My list has a bunch of canon stuff on it too. it's really hard to avoid it, but lists should also try to push out of that a little more often.
    Here's my Top Ten for what it's worth. Specifically, Free Jazz and mostly just off the top of my head.
    1.John Coltrane - Interstellar Space
    2.Dave Holland Quartet - Conference of the Birds
    3.Anthony Braxton - For Alto
    4.Sam Rivers - Crystals
    5.Pharoah Sanders - Black Unity
    6.Masayuki Takayangi & Karou Abe - Mass Projection
    7.Archie Shepp - The Magic of Ju-Ju
    8.Evan Parker - Monoceros
    9.Cecil Taylor - Silent Tongues
    10.Dave Burrell - Echo

      Thank you very much for this list! It is true many of my choices are predictable, but I aimed my list for anyone interested in getting into the genre for the first time. On the other hand, I wanted to include only one album per artist.
      I'll take a listen to your choices. Thanks again!

      You might try Mujician-Colours Fulfilled, Evan Parker-Dark Rags, Cecil Taylor-Nailed, and the Irene Schweizer duet on Intakt Records with Han Bennink.

  • @MrFartboy79
    @MrFartboy79 4 роки тому +8

    Proud to own all of these albums on vinyl. These are definitely classics of the genre. Not into Sun Ra? Hard to have a discussion of Avant Garde Jazz without including him.
    Check out more of the free jazz on the
    ESP-Disk label. So many great ones. Check out Marion Brown, Noah Howard, Sonny Simmons, Frank Lowe, Milford Graves, Henry Grimes, Giuseppe Logan... all masters in their way.
    Also Brown Rice by Don Cherry and just about all of Alice Coltrane’s catalog is worth exploring. Also, Billy Harper, Horace Tapscott, Sonny Sharrock, You’d probably dig Last Exit too.
    Ok, I’ll stop now. I love this music. Cool video.

    Happy to see Dolphy and Miles, the first "free" musicians I got into back in high school.
    For me, the greatest free jazz album is Coltrane's Olatunji Concert. Pure, horrifying beauty. Feels like it was predicting grindcore and harsh noise decades before they started.

    • @AlexBecerra

  • @danlrusso
    @danlrusso 4 роки тому +1

    I thank you for your list; there are some new ones that you introduced me to that I want to hear more of. The ones I have owned for many years are Unit Structures and Shape of Jazz To Come. I would recommend Sound Grammar by Ornette Coleman which is a superb live album featuring two bass players which adds a fascinating angle to the sound; it was also the album that received a Pulitzer Prize. I am curious to know what you think about "Zero Tolerance For Silence" by Pat Metheny because there has always been a lot of controversy and speculation as to Pat's motivation and authenticity regarding its creation. Speaking of Metheny, there le his album with Ornette "Song X" and his album "The Sign of Four" with Derek Bailey. Thanks again to you.

    Ese de Andrew Hill me suena a más a un Post-Bop ¿abstracto? Y sí, esa balada avant del final es hermosa, un final muy introspectivo. Tal vez, el trabajo más “libre” de Hill sea Compulsion.

      Acabo de escuchar el álbum y es muy bueno. Lo que más me gustó fueron los arreglos disonantes de guitarra.
      En una estilo similar (aunque bastante más agresivo) te recomiendo el grupo Psychophagist.
