Focusing On Sanity

 

Ornette Coleman - The Shape Of Jazz To Come [R1 661904 USA 2022 24-Bit 176.4kHz FLAC]

Recorded in Los Angeles on May 22nd 1959, featuring Ornette Coleman on sax, Don Cherry on cornet, Charlie Haden on bass and Billy Higgins on drums. Originally released on Atlantic Records the same year, The Shape Of Jazz To Come is considered to be among the very best jazz albums of all time.

This complex free-jazz album could be a challenging listen for new comers to jazz, as Coleman takes the listener beyond the realms of the genre into brave unforeseen experimental territory. This is probably not music for hotel lounge bars.

Cut by Ryan K. Smith from the original mono master tape and pressed by RTI, this release was recently part of the VMP Classic series.

      ...but compared with Free Jazz from 1961 it sounds like Kenny G

    Thanks for ripping tagging. I got this one as well but didn't manage to clean and tag, so I'm more than happy to have a copy of your efforts and with such nice equipment!
