Mike Garson's piano on Aladdin Sane?

Asmodeus Book of Angels Vol 7 - Marc Ribot/Trevor Dunn/G.Calvin Weston. It says its arranged and conducted by John Zorn but a lot of it sounds pretty free to me. Free power trio with Ribot playing his socks off.
Chris Cutler/Fred Frith Live at The Stone.

I should listen to those old Sharrock albums again; I love his guitar just remember being underwhelmed by everything else going on there. A classic Free set is more about the chemistry of the group than what one player is doing.
Dolphy was perhaps the free-est player of his era (supposedly learned flute by "imitating the birds"), but died in 1964 before things got "too weird." So his mature stuff generally features free solos but over structured riffing. He really was one of the most tragic early deaths -- seems like he was just getting warmed up (like Hendrix and Charlie Christian).

Urban Bushmen - Art Ensemble of Chicago (greatest band I ever saw)
Best Jazz show I ever saw (and top 10 "any genre") was "Roscoe Mitchell & The Note Factory". Malachi Favors was also in that group (2 drummers, 2 basses, trumpeter & Roscoe on saxes as I recall).
A good "free jazz" set will blow your head right off!!! (And with only acoustic instruments too!)

But are the Arkestra "Free" Jazz? His music is very composed and thought-through to my ear. Some of the soloing is free but the material is really structured I believe. I guess Free Improvisation and Free of ties to modes, scales and chords are two different things.
I think Ra did all of those things, and more!
He was one of the original "maximalists" -- literally every kind of music went into the soup.
But also, his shtick was a "living drama" that included a lot of extra-musical effects like dancing and costumes and weird lights.
For those involved, it was not about "musical genre", it was a way of life! (Joining the Arkestra was making a choice to be a starving artist rather than a well-paid professional. Actually one of Ra's biggest problems holding the group together was that his best musicians usually left for better-paying gigs. Only the "true believers" stuck with him for years and years.)

Anyone interested in hearing a 54 minute 'new age' reinterpretation of the opening track? Who wouldn't be!
