Look for Mystery of Rampo

Thats ... a film?

[SKYIO]

Btw Im not trying to find a piece that fits all these pieces. Im just looking for anything that resembles these pieces in the least, even if its only one of them

this one made me think of something made by guys like Tim Berne or the Eight bold souls, but I don't have a particular track in mind. I'm not sure if they are exactly what you're looking for but check out for instance the album "Fractured fairy tales".

the sound of the trumpet reminds of Miles Davis but again I'm not sure what specific track could be a good recommendation.
I'm thinking too of Olinga, written by Dizzy Gillespie

and something like this

I can't tell any name at the moment, I can say only that it's groove made me think of funk stuff like the meters but it's not a good suggestion.

this one reminds only of a a piece called Battle in the hall, composed by David Bedford for his album Odyssey.
You can hear a sample here:

the beginning reminds me of Shostakovich and  the second movement of his  symphony 15
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anNXcaKKcr0

but then it goes in a completely different direction, something like this

or this

I'm not sure if those above are good suggestions, let me know.

If by free-form you are thinking about what that really means in the jazz world,
then I'd say try out JOHN COLTRANE-Acesnsion (I & II) or The New York Contemporary Five, or some of Marion Brown's hairier ordeals.

It doesn't get any more "free form" than that - but that doesn't equate with being actually good.

"Acension," for instance, was an experiment that didn't come off.

[jochanaan]

Those Baccano tracks may sound "free form" but (except for the trumpet solo) they are actually tightly composed and rehearsed.  I know from experience that players don't get that tight unless they work at it.

Isn't this free form? Ornette Coleman Double Quartet - Free Jazz

Btw if anyone can find some Jazz like that, that'd be great. My kind of jazz seems to be horribly scarce

Thanks for trying but that wasn't really what I was looking for

It was already recommended, but in case you haven't heard Coltrane's Acesnsion, I think you should check it out. The format is like Coleman's big band free improvisation but within a structured pattern. I always viewed these two albums as companion recordings.

[SKYIO]

I already have it on my list. Seriously why is free Jazz so scarce? Is it like really hard to produce or something? I just like hearing messy unorganized jazz sounds that in a way do have an organisation, a pity for me indeed!

Yeah, that's free form all right, the sort that only the greatest players are willing to risk.

No need to feel pity,there are many hundreds (probably thousands) of Free Jazz recordings available.

Among my personal favourites is the great Ornette Coleman and of the modern players Ken Vandermark is excellent IMO.

BTW I just typed in Free Jazz under CDs&Vinyl on Amazon and got 17,860 results so there are a few out there,good luck and have fun.
