Our Take
Our Take
Ornette Coleman's "Free Jazz" is like taking a whirlwind trip through a sonic funhouse, where the rules of traditional jazz are thrown out the window and replaced with a frenetic cacophony of sound. Released on blue vinyl, this double quartet extravaganza is a must-have for any adventurous music enthusiast.
The album opens with the title track, a 37-minute opus that starts off with a chaotic medley of horns and drums, before settling into a hypnotic groove that will have you tapping your feet and scratching your head in equal measure. Coleman's saxophone wails and screeches with wild abandon, while the rest of the band follows suit with their own brand of controlled chaos.
Tracks like "First Take" and "Second Take" showcase the sheer virtuosity of the musicians involved, with each player given free rein to improvise and experiment to their heart's content. The result is a whirlwind of sound that is by turns exhilarating and bewildering, but always compelling.
With its bold experimentation and fearless exploration of the outer limits of jazz, "Free Jazz" is a true landmark in the genre. So grab yourself a copy, sit back, and prepare to be taken on a wild, unpredictable journey that will leave you breathless and begging for more. Trust us, you won't regret it.

About the artist
The Ornette Coleman Double Quartet
Ornette Coleman Double Quartet - The Free Jazz Pioneer Pushing Boundaries Ornette Coleman Double Quartet is not your typical jazz ensemble. Led by the innovative saxophonist and composer Ornette Coleman, this unique group combines two separate quartets - one acoustic and one electric - to create a mind-bending, genre-defying sound that pushes the boundaries of traditional jazz. Coleman, who famously rejected the constraints of traditional jazz structure in favour of a more free-flowing, improvisational style, is the driving force behind this experimental project. With the addition of two drummers, two bassists, and a mix of electric and acoustic instruments, the Ornette Coleman Double Quartet creates a cacophonous, yet surprisingly cohesive, sonic landscape. The group's debut album, "Free Jazz: A Collective Improvisation," released in 1961, caused a stir in the jazz world and solidified Coleman's reputation as a pioneering force in the genre. The album's bold experimentation and fearless disregard for convention set the stage for a new era of jazz music. Despite their avant-garde approach, the Ornette Coleman Double Quartet has managed to attract a dedicated fan base of listeners who appreciate their fearless exploration of sound and form. Their live performances are a mesmerising experience, with each member of the ensemble contributing their own unique voice to the collective improvisation. While some may find the Ornette Coleman Double Quartet's music challenging, for those willing to open their ears and minds, it offers a glimpse into the limitless possibilities of jazz music. So, sit back, relax, and prepare to be taken on a sonic journey unlike any other. Ornette Coleman Double Quartet is here to push the boundaries and redefine what it means to be a jazz musician.
