The fine folks who run the avant-jazz weblog Destination Out are offering free downloads of tracks by the Art Ensemble of Chicago (with St. Louis' Lester Bowie, pictured at left), Miles Davis and John Zorn as part of their "Beginner's Guide to Free Jazz."The Guide is described by the authors as "our humble attempt to make Free Jazz (aka Avant Garde Jazz aka Adventurous Jazz aka That Horrible Racket) more understandable to folks who don’t normally listen to much jazz at all," and they've included some good stuff from the likes of Don Cherry, Archie Shepp, Herbie Hancock and many others as well. Download the tracks, read the commentaries, and/or follow the supporting links offered here.
