calorie free jazz

Destination: Out's A Beginner’s Guide to Free Jazz makes for an excellent playlist. The single element I love most about Sun Ra's "Angels And Demons At Play" (title aside) is the semi-random clacking sound. That kind of semi-randomness is fairly rare and quite disturbing. As is Patty Waters's Janet Leigh screaming on "Black Is The Color Of My True Love's Hair."

One comment calls the list dumbed-down. While I disagree with the tone, I can understand the sentiment. As free jazz, I'm not sure how well it works, as there is no "straight-ahead free jazz" like, say Ayler's Spiritual Unity (the first album that would still qualify as free jazz today?). However, as a primer to the wide variety of avant-garde jazz, it's great.

Check out the links in the post as well. Common Misconceptions About Free Jazz makes some good points.
