Seconded, although I think the following are better starting points:
Ornette Coleman - Tomorrow Is The Question*
John Coltrane - Interstellar Space
Charles Mingus - Pithecanthropus Erectus*
Sun Ra - Space Is The Place
*: not completely free jazz but definitely out there in that direction.
I was going to use "more accessible" in the above paragraph, but suddenly realized how stupid that would look in a thread devoted to free jazz.
