Chris recommends listening to:

Ornette Coleman – The Shape of Jazz To Come

If you like that, then try:

Ornette Coleman – Change of the Century

Ornette Coleman – This Is Our Music

Ornette Coleman – Town Hall Concert

Ornette Coleman – Science Fiction

(and that’s just for starters…ALL of his albums on Atlantic Records are worthy)

Other artists to try listening to if you like Ornette Coleman:

Charles Mingus – Charles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus (that's a lot of Mingus)

Grachan Moncur III – Evolution

Sun Ra – Jazz In Silhouette (not really an avant garde album, but an incredible record that’s a gateway to more Sun Ra, whose music definitely goes out there)

Cecil Taylor – Jazz Advance

Some other artists if you want to go way, way, way out there:

Peter Brotzman – Machine Gun

John Zorn – Spy Vs. Spy
