Keith Jarrett played avant-garde jazz on some his early (mostly US-quartet's) albums

For what albums does Keith Jarrett count? At least out of the albums I have listened to, only Nude Ants would count as avant...

Many favorites here, but I decided to vote for Don Cherry.

I know very few of these, hopefully that will soon change as I find Avant-Garde Jazz very intriguing. Anyways, I voted for Coleman, I'm really enjoying his stuff so far.

It's hard to get me to not vote for Sun Ra in a poll.
 
Brotzmann and Coleman would round out my top three.
Hit it on Five.

Stab them in the ears.

Though I like what I've heard from a few of these names, and how much I like Tyner and Keith, I actually have more Alice Coltrane than any other single artist on the list, and so I've voted there

I went to Ornette Coleman. I have some albums of Ornette Coleman, and it likes all. However, I have a favorite by an album unit about the musician with reference to a list.

I still often hear the avant-garde performance that Anthony Braxton and Marion Brown went. Or it is David S. Ware and David Murray.

Indeed... Impulse!'s New Thing was THE avant-garde for me... though it (free-jazz/Avant) started sooner than the birth of that great orange label

Hmm, I'll say Pharoah Sanders although he probably is the less avant-garde. I love how he continued and developed Coltrane's A Love Supreme-style of work. 

Archie Shepp is up there.

I probably like the less avant works of Sun Ra.

Ornette Coleman for me, Sun Ra was a close second.

This poll is about the people who invented avant-garde jazz, I'm sure I forgot somebody Ermm

My vote goes to Sun Ra, love that sense of humor and contrary attitude.

A famous quote from composer Charles Ives regarding new music:

"Stop being such a God-damned sissy! Why can't you stand up before fine strong music like this and use your ears like a man?"
- At a 1931 concert of Ives's and Ruggles's music, a man booed during one of Ruggles's works
