What are the best free jazz albums?

My dad used to work as a jazz critic and I've heard free jazz my whole life. I'm not even a huge fan of it, but I can share a ton of stuff
>Ornette Coleman - The Shape of Jazz to Come
>Ornette Coleman - Free Jazz
>John Coltrane - Ascension
>John Coltrane - A Love Supreme
>Pharaoh Sanders - Karma
>Pharaoh Sanders - Jewels of Thought
>Albert Ayler - Spiritual Unity
>Albert Ayler - Ghosts
>Sun Ra - We Travel the Space Ways
>Sun Ra - Space Is The Place
I also know Archie Shepp, Steve Lacy, and Evan Parker are apparently really good, but I don't know any specific albums by them. Charles Mingus, I don't know if he's considered free jazz or not. Also it's a thing to say that "John Coltrane was the Father, Pharaoh Sanders was the Son, and Albert Ayler was the Holy Ghost" so those are the big three of free jazz (but also Ornette Coleman is really big too I guess? He seems to have started it, so I don't know why Coltrane is the Father)
Also, a ton of these guys would collaborate on stuff. If you go on their discography pages you'll see stuff about "as leader" vs "as sideman." And live albums are apparently pretty good in free jazz cause they're different (not like rock where live albums are generally considered less important).
Also be prepared for songs that are 30 fucking minutes of screeching (I'm sorry, I'm trying to help but I really really really just don't get this stuff)

Best Coleman Record in you Opinion?
I have a few:

And of course: youtube.com/watch?v=xbZIiom9rDA

Also this song has been stuck in my head for the past 20 years youtube.com/watch?v=0XVugquLvZ0

My favorite will always be The Science Fiction Sessions.

Not him or gay, tho.

Oh, another thing. There's a box set of Albert Ayler stuff called "Holy Ghost" that's apparently very good. It's a bunch of rare and unreleased recordings of him

This is John Coltrane's best record:

lol not all free jazz is abrasive shit like that tho

Coltrane did have Olatunji but shit like A Love Supreme or Sunship are not abrasive at all.

I wish I had a picture, but my dad bought a copy of that icon and it's hanging in my parents house (I'm in college away from home, so I can't go take one)

What do you think European free jazz (although this band is a super-group composed of both European and American)?

It sounds like freejazz-metal.

I like Euro Free Jazz

But Last Exit isn't really representative of free jazz in general, let alone just Euro stuff. It's super electric and rock influenced.

Evan Parker

truly

stumbled onto this last night:

I love how most abrasive part is right at the beginning.
