Bailey is amazing, and one of the best places to start with him would be his collaborative album, Mirakle (2000), which is a fusion of free jazz and funk. It is still very challenging, but there are definitely some conventional aspects in the music... You know... just in case one feels suffocated by the atonality and often free improvisational nature of the album.
Although, I would recommend this only for those wanting to find a starting point for Derek Bailey, and not so much free jazz. As far as free jazz goes, I would recommend Ayler (like Frownland said) or some of Cecil Taylor's work from the late 50s/early 60s.
