Our Take

Ornette Coleman's "The Shape of Jazz to Come" is a mind-bending, avant-garde journey through the uncharted realms of musical possibility. Released in 1959, this album defies conventional jazz norms and pushes the boundaries of improvisation to new heights.

Coleman's revolutionary approach to composition and performance shines through on tracks like "Lonely Woman" and "Focus on Sanity", where his distinctive saxophone style takes center stage. Each note seems to defy gravity, soaring through the air with a sense of freedom and spontaneity.

The band's tight-knit chemistry is evident throughout the album, with Don Cherry's trumpet and Charlie Haden's bass providing a solid foundation for Coleman's experimental flights of fancy. The interplay between these musicians is nothing short of exhilarating, as they bounce ideas off each other like a group of mad scientists conducting a musical experiment.

With its angular melodies, unpredictable rhythms, and fearless improvisation, "The Shape of Jazz to Come" is a bold statement from a true visionary. Coleman's fearless spirit and refusal to be bound by convention make this album a timeless classic that continues to inspire musicians to this day. So buckle up, dear listeners, and prepare to be taken on a wild, genre-defying ride through the world of Ornette Coleman.
