--- Quote from: thedevilissix ---And yup, Bitches' is on two CDs. I meant to say that the second one was bonus material and that the two tracks were on the original cut
--- End quote ---
The second one isn't only bonus material though... most of the stuff on that disc is part of the original album.
For more stuff on the less accessible side, I also like:
- John Coltrane - Olatunji Concert: The Last Live Recording
- Sonny Sharrock - Black Woman
- Derek Bailey - Ballads
I've also found some Evan Parker stuff interesting too but haven't actually listened to it all that much yet. Same with the ICP... I think I've just heard that Sonic Youth collab on record, but they were great live. It would be cool if anyone can recommend more stuff on this side of things.
For the original poster though, I think '50s Miles, Coltrane from '65 and earlier, Monk, Mingus and Charlie Parker are the first places to look.
Mockery:
Surely at least Inlander must have heard of James Morrison...
One of Australia's finest Jazz musicians, mostly plays trumpet, but also moves to trombone and other instruments.
There's quite a bit of free music available on his website, check out the multimedia page. I recommend 'Le Belleclaire Blues'. I love it because I know the piece inside out, having performed it back in high school. Another cool thing about this track is that James Morrison plays ALL the trumpet, trombone & saxophone parts and they're dubbed together. And it comes out AWESOME.
Also check out 'Scream Machine', 'The Spot', and definitely 'What a Wonderful World'. (I mean hey, download them all, it's there & it's free, but those ones I recommend most)
Misereatur:
--- Quote from: jose ---also to add to recs. Free Jazz classics (some already mentioned)
Albert Ayler - Live in Greenwich Village (complete impluse sessions)
Eric Dolphy - Out to Lunch
Peter Brotzman - Nipples, Machine Gun
Ornette Coleman - The Shape of Jazz to Come, Free Jazz
Some of these (especially the Brotzman albums) aren't exactly accessable, but they can represent some of the best of jazz (that ayler set is so incredibly awesome). Maybe try The Shape of Jazz to Come first, its probably the most accessable followed by Out to Lunch

QFT
Also, Free Jazz is one of the most amazing albums I own. The kind of album that every time you listen to it you'll find somthing new.
Warning to those who dont know Free Jazz and plan to listen to the album: 47 minutes of collective improvs from a double quartet. It will sound like mindless cacaphony at first. So start with The Shape Of Jazz To Come and work your way to it.
When I first listened to it I turned it off after 30 seconds. Now I love every second of it.
