Editorial Reviews
CD Description
As the 50s ended, Ornette Coleman became the new herald of the future of jazz, surpassing for a time, even John Coltrane. Intent on feeling and with often scant regard for technique, he plunged headlong into a musical form that defied categorization and dismayed orthodox musicologists. Especially aware of the blues, Coleman eschewed a rigid structure in themusic and favoured instead explorations of its poetic content. Free jazz to Coleman and his followers was jazz freed not only from musical restraints but also from sociological and cultural parameters. This album demonstrates his radicalism and his awareness of both past and future jazz.
Customer Reviews
So this is free jazz !
Being a newcomer to Jazz i was told to buy this CD,im told its a classic,I listened to it,then played it over again.I have never heard sounds like this before,im amazed at the level of playing skill,Listen to the 9 min" peace" or the blistering Eventually.It blew my socks off.All done with a plastic Sax by Ornette Coleman.
Good value!
I'm still working my way through this one. I think it represents excellent value for what is probably a landmark jazz album. It isn't as discordant as I was led to believe and I find it pleasant but not outstanding and certainly not the Greatest Jazz Album of all time as one Amazon poll recently claimed. Nonetheless, I'd recommend purchasing this to anyone developing their knowledge of jazz.
