Do you need to know the rules to break the rules? -- free jazz, improv, noise, etc

Anyway, I had never heard a jazz record like this before. I'm also reminded of very early Weather Report, kind of a spacey, tricky pop at heart here. I don't think it's on CD, I found it on slsk.

this looks ok..

is there a more regularly used improv/free thread? anyway, have really been getting into this album - trim — dominic lash/rachel mission/steve noble/phil durrant.

i’m not a knowledgeable free jazz person *at all* but there’s an almost archaic lyricism here in the improv boundary zones, with a version of space age synths and information distortion. it keeps insistently reminding me, in ways i can’t articulate, of hank jones’ lazy afternoon. this seems absurd on its face but i’m going to go along with it.

good new label too.

just post in in the rolling jazz thread imo

Or in whiney's thread rolling frankly annoying quirked up random ass sounds glooped onto a DAW 2023

^ i have no idea what that thread is and refuse to post in it
