The Shape of Jazz to Come : Limited Orange (Vinyl)

Limited orange vinyl edition of Ornette Coleman’s groundbreaking 1959 debut album for Atlantic.

“Ornette Coleman’s Atlantic debut, The Shape of Jazz to Come, was a watershed event in the genesis of avant-garde jazz, profoundly steering its future course and throwing down a gauntlet that some still haven’t come to grips with. The record shattered traditional concepts of harmony in jazz, getting rid of not only the piano player but the whole idea of concretely outlined chord changes….. Any understanding of jazz’s avant-garde should begin here.” – All Music.
