WAXTIME IN COLOR ORNETTE COLEMAN 'THE SHAPE OF JAZZ TO COME' (Orange Vinyl) LIMITED EDITION 180g PREMIUM VINYL PRESSING FOR SUPER FIDELITY. 'The Shape of Jazz to Come' was a watershed event in the genesis of avant-guard jazz. The record shattered traditional concepts of jazz harmony, disposing of both the piano player and the whole idea of concretely outlined chord changes. The album includes Coleman's classic tune 'Lonely Woman.' ORNETTE COLEMAN, alto sax DON CHERRY, cornet CHARLIE HADEN, bass BILLY HIGGINS, drums Hollywood, California, May 22, 1959. Original Atlantic session produced by Nesuhi Ertegun. DOWNBEAT MAGAZINE: "The element that pours out of this disc is creativity in strong, concentrated waves. Four of the half dozen Coleman originals in this collection grow out of bop roots, but Coleman hears other things, too. This is not easy music for the listener, but even at its most difficult it remains compelling." (John S. Wilson)
