A famous quote from composer Charles Ives regarding new music:

"Stop being such a God-damned sissy! Why can't you stand up before fine strong music like this and use your ears like a man?"
- At a 1931 concert of Ives's and Ruggles's music, a man booed during one of Ruggles's works

This poll is about the people who invented avant-garde jazz, I'm sure I forgot somebody Ermm

My vote goes to Sun Ra, love that sense of humor and contrary attitude.

You forgot Eric Dolphy Confused

Voted for Ayler, not because he was the best, but because I just subjectively like him more from the list of equal giants. The others I would like to vote besides of Ayler are John & Alice Coltranes, Archie Shepp, Eric Dolphy...

Ornette Coleman for me, Sun Ra was a close second.

Hmm, I'll say Pharoah Sanders although he probably is the less avant-garde. I love how he continued and developed Coltrane's A Love Supreme-style of work. 

Archie Shepp is up there.

I probably like the less avant works of Sun Ra.

Indeed... Impulse!'s New Thing was THE avant-garde for me... though it (free-jazz/Avant) started sooner than the birth of that great orange label

I went to Ornette Coleman. I have some albums of Ornette Coleman, and it likes all. However, I have a favorite by an album unit about the musician with reference to a list.

I still often hear the avant-garde performance that Anthony Braxton and Marion Brown went. Or it is David S. Ware and David Murray.

McCoy Tyner, I love those quartal voicings.

Though I like what I've heard from a few of these names, and how much I like Tyner and Keith, I actually have more Alice Coltrane than any other single artist on the list, and so I've voted there

It's hard to get me to not vote for Sun Ra in a poll.
 
Brotzmann and Coleman would round out my top three.

I know very few of these, hopefully that will soon change as I find Avant-Garde Jazz very intriguing. Anyways, I voted for Coleman, I'm really enjoying his stuff so far.

For what albums does Keith Jarrett count? At least out of the albums I have listened to, only Nude Ants would count as avant...

Many favorites here, but I decided to vote for Don Cherry.

Keith Jarrett played avant-garde jazz on some his early (mostly US-quartet's) albums

Sun Ra is simply the man
