<p>Ornette Coleman was a pioneering American jazz saxophonist, composer, and bandleader. Born in 1930 in Fort Worth, Texas, he revolutionized the jazz scene with his unique approach to improvisation and composition. Coleman's innovative playing style, characterized by his use of unconventional scales and harmonies, challenged traditional notions of jazz and paved the way for the free jazz movement. His albums like "The Shape of Jazz to Come" and "Free Jazz: A Collective Improvisation" are considered classics of the genre. Throughout his career, Coleman received numerous accolades including a Pulitzer Prize for Music in 2007. His musical legacy continues to inspire generations of musicians.</p>

Back In Stock

On this highly influential 1959 album, ornette coleman's unique writing style and idiosyncratic solo language forever changed the jazz landscape. On classics such as "Lonely woman", "Congeniality", and "Focus on sanity", coleman used the tunes' moods and melodic contours, rather than their chords, as a basis for his improvisations. In so doing, he opened up jazz soloing immensely and ushered in new freedoms—both individually and collectively. Lest these innovations sound too dry or abstract, it must be noted that both coleman and trumpeter don cherry play with a deep-felt emotion and joy that is as infectious today as it was then. This is truly an essential jazz recording, marking the end of one era, providing the blueprint for the next.
