derrr... can't say I'd quite agree with that. Even in its simplest terms,
free jazz is an attempt to move away from chords, scales and
soloists. Questions of what's a well-developed idea vs the result of
"fuck[ing] around" always go to a pointless, cliched debate. I won't if
you won't.

Of free jazz? Ornette's a good starting point, but that's like saying
"Kraftwerk's probably the best example of electronic music".

I would agree with this (accepting that not everyone likes free jazz).
