  • Description

  • Tracklist
  • Ornette Coleman is probably the most influential avant-garde musician in the world. Coleman is a leading force in jazz. His emotive alto saxophone style is based on melodic improvisation that is not constrained by chord changes.

    This style (and philosophy) was called "Harmolodics" by Ornette Coleman and reached its peak in a small combo whose virtuoso playing had the power of the blues and the multi-rhythmic sophistication of Monk, Mingus or Coltrane. The Shape Of Jazz To Come is Ornette Coleman's debut on Atlantic and his first recording with his revolutionary quartet: Don Cherry, Charlie Haden and Billy Higgins. And it still defines the shape of jazz of the future.
