it depends on who you're looking at. a lot of avant-garde musicians started off using really traditional structures and formats and then got away from that as time went by. the early stuff of Ornette Coleman and Cecil Taylor is only a step away from the hard bop and post bop of the time. a few years later they were totally out there. but harmonically, all those guys kept some sort of traditional structure--for ornette it was the blues; for Cecil it was his "unit structures"--they just coupled them with innovations like harmelodics and free rhythm. but then you have avant-garde guys like Eric Dolphy, who stretched traditional musical structure to the breaking point, or really free guys like Peter Brotzmann and Derek Bailey, who just did away with all that. so you could say it really depends on their backgrounds and what kind of statement they were trying to make.
