Our Take

Ornette Coleman's "The Complete" is a wild and wacky ride through the mind of a musical maestro. With his trademark avant-garde style and free-form improvisation, Coleman takes listeners on a journey that is as unpredictable as it is exhilarating.

The album kicks off with the frenetic "Lonely Woman," a track that showcases Coleman's unique approach to melody and harmony. His saxophone wails and screeches, creating a cacophony of sound that is both thrilling and disorienting.

As the album progresses, Coleman continues to push the boundaries of jazz, incorporating elements of funk, blues, and even rock into his compositions. Tracks like "Peace" and "Ramblin'" showcase his ability to blend genres seamlessly, creating a sound that is wholly his own.

But it's not all chaos and cacophony on "The Complete." Coleman also offers moments of quiet introspection, as evidenced by the hauntingly beautiful "Beauty is a Rare Thing." His saxophone weaves a delicate tapestry of sound, inviting listeners to lose themselves in its gentle embrace.

Overall, "The Complete" is a testament to Coleman's singular talent and vision. With its fearless experimentation and undeniable musicality, this album is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates boundary-pushing jazz. So strap in, dear readers, for a wild ride through the mind of one of music's true visionaries.
