Ornette Coleman Quartet :: Roma 1974 #1
Grabación de la televisión italiana (Schegge, Rai 3) del cuarteto de Ornette Coleman en 1974. El tema que interpretan es "School Work", melodía recurrente de Ornette que más tarde volvería a aparecer como "The Good Life" en su obra sinfónica Skies Of America (1972) y que finalmente se convertiría en el núcleo de Dancing in Your Head (1973). A la guitarra James "Blood" Ulmer, Ornette empezaba en esta época a experimentar con nuevas configuraciones del cuarteto introduciendo instrumentos eléctricos. La cinta presenta a Coleman en el periodo de transición y experimentación en que se formó Prime Time. Ornette Coleman: saxo ; James Ulmer: guitarra ; Sirone: bajo; Billy Higgins: batería

The Shape of Jazz to Come is an influential album by Ornette Coleman. It was his debut album for Atlantic Records who released it in late 1959. The Shape of Jazz to Come was one of the first avant-garde jazz albums ever recorded. It was recorded in 1959 by Coleman's piano-less quartet. The album was considered shocking at the time, because it had no recognizable chord structure and included simultaneous improvisation by the performers in a much freer style than previously heard in jazz. Coleman's major breakthrough was to leave out chord-playing instruments. Each selection contains a brief melody, much like the tune of a typical jazz song, then several minutes of free improvisation, followed by a repetition of the main theme; while this resembles the conventional head-solo-head structure of bebop, it abandons the use of chord structures. 1."Lonely Woman" -- 5:02 2."Eventually" -- 4:22 3."Peace" -- 9:04 4."Focus on Sanity" -- 6:52 5."Congeniality" -- 6:48 6."Chronology" -- 6:03

The first track of free jazz saxophonist Ornette Coleman's album This Is Our Music. Despite being pretty chaotic and somewhat dissonant at times I find this a pretty groovy track.

This appears to be Coleman's only recorded use of the suona, a kind of wooden oboe with a distinctive loud and high-pitched sound. An important folk instrument in northern China, it is occasionally still used to accompany weddings and funerals, as part of wind-and-percussion ensembles known as chuida or guchui. In Taiwan, it forms an essential element of the ritual music that accompanies Daoist performances of both auspicious and inauspicious rites, ie, those for both the living and the dead. The suona has a conical wooden body, similar to that of the European oboe, but uses a tubular brass or copper bocal to which a small double reed is affixed, and possesses a detachable metal bell at its end. The instrument is made in several sizes. Since the mid-20th century, "modernized" versions of the suona have been developed in China; such instruments have keys similar to those of the European oboe, to allow for the playing of chromatic notes and equal tempered tuning (both of which are difficult to execute on the traditional suona). The suona doesn't appear on any of Coleman's official releases, and thus we have to turn to a single track from a bootleg collection of live performances, recorded in Italy in 1968, initially released on LP as 'The Unprecedented Music of Ornette Coleman' (with sleeve design by Japanese free saxophonist Kaoru Abe), and subsequently on CD as 'The Love Revolution'. Given that Coleman had started to employ trumpet and violin alongside his more familiar <b>...</b>
