Something I was going to ask of !"£$% - I think part of the question might be Free Jazz's legacy - I think you could certainly make a case for, say, bits of DDN being heavily influenced by free jazz; from a more esoteric point of view, it's probably worth thinking about how people like Otomo Yoshihide, Nmperign or NNCK (3 names from a hat) incorporate elements from free jazz. There's a fine line between melodic extemporisation and free jazz though, so I find it a bit of an iffy one.
I wouldn't say this was 'purely' free jazz, for instance - but there are definitely elements of it later on in the piece.

Thanks for the examples. I enjoyed the Sun Ra song. The Patty Watters piece was a little harder to "dig" but definitely had experimental elements that were cool.
