I think that free jazz is missing on this website. It's a part of jazz music and it's really good.

It's here, it's part of Avant-Garde Jazz.

Yeah, understood and I largely agree that they should be kept together , but actually the search for Free Jazz or Free Form Jazz sould be immediately gratified by finding it . Not having the Free Jazz name in the genre list is puzzling, IMHO
Sooooooo, I'd propose that Avant-Garde genre be renamed Avant-garde & free=form jazz

Just one observation, there's free-jazz and free-form (music), not sure what free-form jazz is, in that case.  |

About two years ago, I would've agreed with you, but more recently I've seen/read both actually, but don't ask me where, though! Edited by Sean Trane - 11 Aug 2011 at 7:10am |

lol, you didn't look very hard...
Personally, I prefer it to be just avant-garde jazz, I don't like long subgenre names and it's not hard to figure out that free jazz is under avant-garde jazz. People sometimes make a technical distinction between avant-garde jazz is primarily composed, while free jazz is primarily improved, but I think that really doesn't matter. |

That's Kenny G with Miles Davis on my avatar, by the way. |

That sounded like Latin Fusion.

^indeed, the music is not free jazz at all, that's a pity. But still, I thought the same thing: was going to put the video, but was too lazy.

The problem is that avant-garde is a little too broad for its own good>> It includes the Impulse! label's New Thing, in which Alice Coltrane is thrown in...
But Alice is way too far away to be included in free-jazz ala Keith Tippett or Peter Brotzman

I'm not very familiar with Alice Coltrane's discography, but I do know enough that I know what you mean, she's a lot less harsh than Peter Brotzmann. But everything I've ever read about her regards her as avant-garde jazz, and there's also a pretty big difference between EST and Jaga Jazzist in Nu Jazz...

Not an expert in free jazz, but from the linguistic and logical standpoint and in order to make "free jazz" tag visible, what do you think to add "Avant-Garde Jazz/Free Jazz" or "Avant-Garde/Free Jazz" as a title of sub-genre?

Thanks for the suggestion, but that has already been brought up. Free jazz is a subset of AG, as explained in our definition, so we will probably keep it that way.
