Seems like when it comes to jazz, and boundary pushing most get to Miles Davis and John Coltrane and stumble. And perhaps Ornette is further out there than most care to venture, but he is a bold genius of music and invention. This particular album was put together by the Atlantic Records without Coleman's input, and it comprises outtakes from a few different projects. I suggest checking out First Take. There is a magic in Ornette's playing that transcends genre.
Figured I'd use this blog to catalogue my record collection. I'll be providing some technical information on the albums as well as my thoughts. My collection is non-genre specific. I keep the bulk of them alphabetized by Artist. However, I also maintain a section I refer to as the esoteric field, which contains unusual records, and artists I wouldn't remember the name of if they weren't in this category. The Classical and Compilation albums are also in separate sections.
