Examples

I don't want to do free jazz! Because free jazz - which is the musical equivalent of free marketeering - isn't actually free at all. It's just constrained by what your muscles can do. Brian Eno

Free jazz allowed for radical improvised departures from the harmonic and rhythmic material of the composition for instance, by permitting performers to ignore conventional repeating song-structures. Source: Internet
