Ornette Coleman “The Shape of Jazz to Come” LP

The Shape of Jazz to Come puts the focus on alto saxophone, melodic freedom, collective improvisation, and a radically open approach to harmony.

• Coleman is joined by Don Cherry, Charlie Haden, and Billy Higgins in a pianoless quartet.
• “Lonely Woman” and the rest of the set loosen conventional chord-based improvisation in favor of melodic interaction and collective freedom.
• The record became a foundational statement for free jazz and one of the most influential albums of the avant-garde.

For fans of Don Cherry, Charlie Haden, and Eric Dolphy.
