Our Take

Ornette Coleman's "Something Else" on Natural/Red/Purple Marble Vinyl is a dizzying kaleidoscope of avant-garde jazz that will leave you questioning if you're even still on planet Earth.

From the opening notes of "Invisible" to the cacophonous exploration of "The Blessing," Coleman leads an all-star band through a wild journey of improvisation and boundary-pushing sonic experiments.

The red and purple marble vinyl not only looks stunning, but also serves as a visual representation of the album's eclectic and unpredictable nature. It's like a musical Jackson Pollock painting, with each note splattered across the canvas in a frenzy of creativity.

Listening to this album is like being caught in a whirlwind of sound, constantly surprised and delighted by the twists and turns Coleman takes you on. It's not for the faint of heart, but for those willing to dive into the deep end of avant-garde jazz, "Something Else" is a must-have addition to your collection.

So, grab a glass of your favourite tipple, sit back, and let Ornette Coleman take you on a sonic safari that will leave you breathless and wanting more. Cheers to a true musical maverick!
