Here are a few others to add to an already extensive list of the great and good:
David S Ware
Tim Berne
Thomas Chapin (sadly died very young)
Brotzmann's Machine Gun and Last Exit are incendiary
Zorn's Masada and Electric Masada
The Necks (Australian improv piano trio)
Exploding Star Orchestra (Rob Mazurek and luminaries including Tortoise members)
Not sure if anyone's mentioned Pharoah Sanders yet? His Impulse recordings would make a list of the new thing.
Check out Babel records, home to London groups Led Bib and Fraud who have imminent releases. Both doing interesting music on the margins of jazz. Both have mysapce pages. Polar Bear are on Babel too as was Acoustic Ladyland. Both feature pretty much the same artists, including the insanely talented seb rochford on drums, and are pretty cool although AC's last recording teeters a bit too derivatively on the no-wave/punk slant.
And to finish off, on a sad note, I just read that Andrew Hill passed away on Friday.
