Our Take

Bounding onto the scene like a musical tornado, Ornette Coleman's "The Complete Albums Collection: 1958 - 1962" is a whirlwind of avant-garde jazz that will have you questioning everything you thought you knew about music.

Coleman's fearless approach to improvisation and disregard for traditional notions of harmony and melody make for a dizzying yet exhilarating listening experience. From the frenetic energy of "The Shape of Jazz to Come" to the melancholic beauty of "Something Else!!!!", each album in this collection showcases Coleman's genius in full force.

Tracks like "Lonely Woman" and "Focus on Sanity" are masterclasses in controlled chaos, with Coleman's distinctive alto saxophone cutting through the cacophony like a beacon of light in a storm. The chemistry between Coleman and his bandmates is palpable, with every note crackling with electricity and invention.

But it's not all avant-garde experimentation and dissonance - Coleman also knows how to craft a killer melody. Tracks like "Ramblin'" and "Beauty is a Rare Thing" are as catchy as they are innovative, proving that Coleman is a true pioneer in the world of jazz.

So grab your beret and your copy of "The Complete Albums Collection" and prepare to be transported to a world where the rules of music are meant to be broken. Ornette Coleman may not be for the faint of heart, but for those willing to take the plunge, the rewards are endless.
