Yes... that is basically what I was implying.

EDIT: That and that it is impossible for free jazz to have influenced the earliest examples of the style. However, it did have an effect on musicians such as Derek Bailey and (to a lesser extent) Gruppo di Improvvisazione di Nuova Consonanza.

Though I'd suggest digging for a pre-1959 clip if you're going to make the claim they invented the style.
Why is that? Is there any documented evidence that shows there were musicians making this kind of music before '59?
