Hello Brownian Movement,

at least 2 musicians come to my mind who were avantgarde over a long time of their lives resp. were avantgarde multiple times:

1) Arnold Schoenberg - he again and again changed his cutting edge style until he reached his 12 tone system at an age of 47.

2) Miles Davis: "Birth Of The Cool"; "Kind Of Blue" - modal playing; 60's quintet; around 70: "Fusion". All these points in his life were avantgardistic.

Best Wishes,
Monk
