Our Take

Ornette Coleman is back, baby! And this time, he's bringing his iconic trio to Copenhagen for a mind-blowing live performance at Tivoli Koncertsalen. Released as "Scandinavian Broadcast: Live At Tivoli Koncertsalen Copenhagen November 30, 1965 - FM Broadcast," this album captures the avant-garde jazz genius at the peak of his powers.

From the moment Coleman kicks off the set with his signature saxophone wails, you know you're in for a wild ride. Joined by bassist David Izenzon and drummer Charles Moffett, the trio's chemistry is undeniable as they effortlessly weave through complex rhythms and unpredictable melodies.

Tracks like "Faces and Places" and "Europe" showcase Coleman's daring improvisational style, pushing the boundaries of traditional jazz and leaving the audience in awe. And let's not forget about Moffett's explosive drum solos, which add an extra layer of chaos to the already frenetic energy of the performance.

But it's not all high-energy chaos; Coleman also shows his sensitive side on ballads like "Morning Song" and "C and D," proving that he's a master of both fire and ice.

Overall, "Scandinavian Broadcast" is a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast. Ornette Coleman's trio delivers a thrilling performance that will leave you speechless. So grab your beret, pour yourself a glass of absinthe, and prepare to be blown away by this iconic live recording. Jazz, baby!
