From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Free funk developed in the 1970s as a combination of
Avant-garde jazz with
Funk music. Leaders of the genre include
Ornette Coleman and his Prime Time group
[1][self-published source?][2],
Ronald Shannon Jackson and his group Decoding Society,
Jamaaladeen Tacuma and his group Spectacle and
James "Blood" Ulmer. The music has been quite influential on the
M-Base genre, as well.
