Marvin "Hannibal" Peterson is not free jazz musician. He participates in Richard Davis's "Now's the time", which is sometimes introduced as a typical free jazz work,
and shows very agressive and hot play. I think free jazz is ambigious and prettey wide concept, including very wide range of music.

This is his second album.
