Free Jazz
Jackie Blue:
DEFINITELY Ken Vandermark. I saw him play a show here in the tiny indie rock venue to maybe 20 people, just him and a drummer, all improv, and hot damn, it was fucking incredible. He is also a super nice guy.
TheFuriousWombat:
It's not really free jazz but any fan of jazz and especially more experimental forms of jazz should listen to The Drift. They're truly excellent. Long songs with fantastic brass instrumentals and an eclectic mix of styles. They're something of a down-tempo dub/rock/jazz band. Sort of. Fantastic either way. Their album "Noumena" has been one of my all time favorite albums ever since I heard it after its release more than three years ago and their second LP is due out shortly. If anyone wants, I can put "Noumena" up in the mediafire thread.

Free Improv and Free Jazz aren't necessarily the same thing. Or maybe I got you wrong because I'm no familiar with Ken Vandermark's works.
I'll write more when I get more then 2 hours of sleep. Fuck you, army.
SensoryOssuary:
I've call Vandermark avant-garde jazz... his stuff his definitely experimental jazz, but not all of it is "free," per se, as he actually composes a lot of material. Still fitting for this thread though, and a great musician.

You'd need a wide staircase.
