Jazz music writ large is an art dedicated to radical freedom--to the notion that each measure has within it infinite potentiality for collective expression.

Is there such a thing as free jazz rap?
Has it been ever been done before? Imagine it would be difficult to freestyle rap over fluctuating tempi and chaotic polyrhythms. It probably takes a special kind of rapper to pull this off well.

MECHANATURA - MANIC ENTITIES (Digital Free Jazz)
23:22 UTC
So, first Machine Gun way taken off streaming, and now it’s no longer on YouTube. Now what?
Exactly what the title says.
As the album that got me into free Jazz, I’m pretty disappointed that (as of now) the only way to feasibly listen to it is to buy it on physical and there’s nowhere I can listen to it online without digging pretty deep. Does anyone know why this may be? And where do we go from here.

Free Jazz Trumpet
Looking for Free Jazz trumpet players. I love Archie Shepp, Sam Rivers, and Peter Brotzmann. Does anyone know of any trumpet players that play in this style. I like Kondo a lot but Im having trouble finding other trumpeters who play free.

Recommendations for Free Jazz with Unusual percussion?
Specific request but, I've found a few free jazz records with strange percussion and I absolutely loved it, e.g. Sound by Roscoe Mitchell and Brötzmann / Van Hove / Bennink Self Titled. Thanks!

Any free improv gigs in Berlin in December?
Hello to everyone!
I’m going to Berlin for a couple of weeks before Christmas and wondering if there are any interesting gigs happening
Would appreciate any info!
Also as a foreigner would be happy to know about venues for such “sophisticated” listening 😬
Thank you!
