I must’ve had ideas above my station and therefore already did (Shape of Jazz / Free Jazz anyway, not heard anything else yet).



I enjoyed Shape of Jazz significantly, in fact

I’ll check Meditations. That seems like a logical next step.

Here is a list of some of my favorite free jazz (or heavily free-jazz-influenced) records in order of increasing... "free-ness"...

Wow, nice. Erm yeah, the problem with these ‘freeness’ ratings is I just want to jump straight in at the deep end, haha

I know Peter Brotzmann as ‘the dude who collaborated with Oxbow last year’ 😄 (probably check it out of curiosity now)

Yeah, I actually preferred Meditations on initial inspection but this is rather good also. I should spend more time listening to jazz.

I believe I had this 5'd at one point in my life, my sole "complaint" is that it loses a little steam toward the final quarter (both sides) but damn I still love it.
