I'm looking to find music that I can best describe as "post bop" or "avante bop". Music with some melody, but the playing is influence by the "free jazz" movement.
The best example I can say is the Wayne Shorter album The all Seeing Eye and Bobby Hutcherson album Dialogue. They are both mid 1960's albums that are a step beyond the old style of be bop and not totally free jazz. The music creates a atmosphere and a kind of "soundscape". James Newton made an album in the same way called The African Flower in the mid 1980's too, so apparently these albums aren't just from the mid 1960's. I don't really know. Please help.
Also, I 'm a huge Grateful Dead fan, you can consider that too, if it helps your answer.
Please, only answer if you think you understand what I'm asking for. Thank you.

Yeah, I'm a Dead Head too. I don't know if you're familiar with King Crimson but their guitarist has done some soundscapes work some of which I think might fall into the catogory you're looking for. You can also try some of the ProjeKcts. The official website is www.disciplineglobalmobile.com

There is a band called Jazz Is Dead that I have a few recordings of. They started in the nineties and I'm not a big Dead fan but this band is worth a look.
