I can tell you, a strange fact is that many free jazz live sets on youtube do not sound that great (though this one does to me, but eh). But if you lend an ear to a wealth of albums from early Ornette (This Is Our Music, The Shape of Jazz To Come, Tomorrow Is The Question, Free Jazz etc.) you will shave a lot to hear. It is not necessarily flawless technique but a gift for twisting and turning melodies that Coleman had. And he could be pretty damn structured.

Most free jazz i'm not crazy about, but i think this is very cool. If you like this check out Offramp by Pat Metheny.

Oh now I see why this is called free jazz.

The song has no key, no structure so you basicly just do some stuff and everything is out of key and it's a mess.

This just blew my brains in a negative way.

Coleman transcends the others.

See "The Devil's Horn" He was once playing near a room filled with great and prominent jazz musicians. He played Bird so well the others ran out to see whether Bird had come back to life.

[MrMiguelmore]

This is free jazz?

Just shows the dead end Ornette's "free"" jazz was, that he later turned to a form of repetitive minimalism, which while trying to be hip in the 70's and 80's, sounded dated from the get-go. Not really funky, melodic, or interesting. If you want this kind of thing, KING SUNNY ADE did it far, far better! Or George Clinton. Or Gang of Four, Pere Ubu, The Fall, the later King Crimson or Talking Heads if you want it catchier.

The WORST violin solo ever!!!
