Ornette Coleman

Shape of Jazz to Come

Jazz 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 this is a double cd remastered version
