Our Take

Ornette Coleman’s album, The Shape Of Jazz To Come, is like a breath of fresh air in a stuffy jazz room. Released on beautiful blue vinyl, this record is anything but ordinary. Coleman, the legendary saxophonist and innovator, takes the traditional jazz sound and turns it on its head.

The first track, "Lonely Woman," sets the tone for the entire album - hauntingly beautiful and full of surprises. Coleman's unconventional approach to melody and harmony leaves listeners on the edge of their seats, never quite sure where he's going to take them next. And honestly, that's part of the charm.

Tracks like "Peace" and "Focus on Sanity" showcase Coleman's unique talent for blending chaos and tranquility into one seamless package. It's like taking a rollercoaster ride through a zen garden - you never quite know what's coming next, but you trust that it's going to be an incredible experience.

Overall, The Shape Of Jazz To Come is a triumph of experimentation and creativity. Coleman's fearless exploration of sound and emotion is both refreshing and inspiring. So grab your blue vinyl copy, sit back, and let Ornette Coleman take you on a wild ride through the uncharted territories of jazz. Trust us, you won't regret it.
