Intuition and Digression are two experimental works which captured the new sound of what would later become known as "Free Jazz"

Although Ornette Coleman produced his seminal work in "The Shape of Jazz to Come" in 1959, the members of Lennie Tristano's Quintet were at the forefront of the movement in the late 1940's. These are held to be the first time these kinds of experimental free jazz works were committed to recording

It is said Parker, Copland and Mingus were heavily influenced by this audacity
