Our Take

Ornette Coleman's "The Shape Of Jazz To Come" is like a sonic rollercoaster that takes you on a journey through the outer regions of the jazz universe. From the first note, Coleman's unconventional approach to jazz is evident as he eschews traditional chord progressions and structures in favor of free-form improvisation and collective improvisation.

The album is a bold statement of artistic freedom and experimentation, with each track pushing the boundaries of what is considered jazz. Coleman's frenetic saxophone playing is supported by a talented group of musicians who are able to keep up with his revolutionary vision.

Tracks like "Lonely Woman" and "Peace" showcase Coleman's ability to create emotional and evocative music without relying on traditional jazz conventions. The album's title is fitting, as Coleman truly shapes the future of jazz with his innovative sound.

"The Shape Of Jazz To Come" is not an easy listen, and some may find it challenging at first. But for those willing to open their minds to Coleman's unique musical vision, the rewards are endless. This album is a must-listen for anyone interested in the evolution of jazz and the limitless possibilities of artistic expression.
