Real answer, it's often called avant garde or experimental jazz. Miles Davis's Bitches Brew is a good example.

For this album, he put his band members in separate recording rooms and had them play whatever the gently caress all day and then he cut the album's songs together.

Jazz is mostly associated/came from African American communities and was thought of as immoral and evil by racist whites because of it. So there's that, plus the obvious racism of representing black people with monkeys.

There's a long history of comparing black people to apes or monkeys, to the point where using one as a stand in for any element of black culture is pretty likely to be interpreted as racist.

That particular meme probably wasn't made with the thought "this orangutan represents a black dude" because it was a pre-existing meme. It's just not a great look.

Most free jazz I’ve heard has been way more noodley skronky random anti-music than Bitches Brew.

But then that’s what my free jazz friends play, one of them just blatantly butchers the sax it’s kind of a nightmare

So the ancient SA lore goes, once a zookeeper liked to describe the temperament of the various great apes at his zoo with the humble screwdriver. If a screwdriver was inadvertently dropped into the gorilla paddock by a workman, the animals would be reasonably expected to investigate the tool, and eventually become bored. Were said screwdriver left in the chimpanzee pen overnight, by morning there would be no more live chimpanzees as the screwdriver would be immediately recognized as an implement of murder. However, should the screwdriver be left with the humble, sagely orangutans, by morning there would also be none left. Not because they had killed each other, but because they would use it to build a rocket out of the various toys and structures around them and escape to the moon.

I visited an orangutan sanctuary and we were warned for 15 minutes about how they will try to kill us if we wrong them in any way, especially the males. People are more likely to get wrecked by chimps because people treat them like pets. But orangutans won't hesitate to gently caress you up if they feel reason to.

Free jazz was an important musical movement but like most things at the avant garde of postmodernism it will ultimately be remembered at best as naive or superficial, and at worst as empty and self-indulgent.

Free jazz is real fun to put on the jukebox at the pool hall.

We did an Orlando goon meet last year where we put in enough money on the jukebox at the pool hall in the Milk District to completely control it for an hour. It was a series of songs like "Bring Me To Life", "Through the Fire and Flames", Weird Al Yankovic, etc.

I finished it off by putting on "Alice's Restaurant Massacree" and running. People were yelling.

Nah, free jazz is mostly improvisational. These guys practiced for a year in cult-like conditions to sound like this. Their live shows were, note for note, the same as what they played on the album. It's the most highly scripted complete chaos ever put on tape, which, if anything, makes it even more impressive.

This is actual free jazz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bRTFr0ytA8 Notice how it sounds like someone stuffed a jazz quartet into a clown car and pushed it down the Springfield Gorge.

Ok, yeah, I hadn't read about the production before but that's, uh, kind of insane. Beefheart basically locked his band in a house, under the supervision of producer Frank Zappa.
