Free Jazz
bbqrocks:
Ya, but this is about free jazz.
Anyways, I listened to Ornette Coleman's 'Shape of jazz to come' and 'this is our music', and they were both great. I'm just starting 3 John Coltrane albums (one of them is a best of) and I got some more Eric Dolphy and Cecil Taylor.
Free jazz is fun!

One of the coolest experimental/free jazz bands I know of is Triosk. Their album "The Headlight Serenade" is pretty damn awesome. Highly recommended for something fairly different from most of the other artists listed here.
Shadows Collide:
Just picked up Cecil Taylor's LP "Unit Structures", it is very beautiful and also a bit intense. He hits the shit out of his piano yet at the same time does some really pretty chord changes while the rest of the band (including at times an oboe!) follow him perfectly. It demonstrates something great about the genre: players seemingly going off in different directions yet arriving perfectly together in melody. Wonderful.

You doing it backwards, really. You should've listened to Coltrane's later works, Coleman and Dolphy before gong into Braxton and Brotzmann. You should really dig deep into Coleman and Dolphy's stuff, it would help make sense of Brotzmann and Braxton.
Other then that, I recommend listening to John Zorn's Spy Vs. Spy: The Music of Ornette Coleman and Masada's live recordings, Charles Mungus' Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus and Tonight at Noon, Matthew Shipp's Equilibrium, Joe McPhee's Po Music, Anything by Archie Shepp and Art Ensemble Of Chicago's Les Stances A Sophie.
