I find that I generally can't do anything else while listening to free jazz. I've got a few free jazz albums like Ascension, and though I enjoy listening to them I actually listen less frequently than to some other albums I own, because it demands so much of my concentration. I'm either all listening to it, or being distracted by it. There's too much going on just to let your brain semi-passively pick out elements of the music.

@DruggedChicken: Well, that was the general conclusion of most of the eras other Jazz musicians, not to mention the public at large. Audience interest was small and growing smaller and by the '70s the Free Jazz cats in New York were largely playing for each other. As the public came to believe that this was now Jazz they abandoned the art form in droves and it has taken years to rebuild, but the audience is still small compared to what it once was.

@DruggedChicken yeah when i started listening to more avantgarde stuff i was like wtf am i hearing, but by listening to hardcore punk , metal, and noise rock (later in life), i realized that classical and modal jazz follow a strict guideline for what notes should be played when, to me the genius to avantgarde/free jazz music is finding those in-between notes and combining then with other notes to form a kind of music that nobody has ever heard before. in a nutshell
