Ornette Coleman - The Shape Of Jazz To Come


This is probably one of the oldest records I've listened to in sometime, but I've been trying to get back into jazz after unceremoniously being overwhelmed by the choice of places to start. All in all, I wouldn't have called this mind-tormentingly experimental, but when you consider that it came out in 1959, it must have confused an awful lot of people! That sax... absolutely ear-drum piercing! Apparently a plastic instrument. Interesting stuff. Either way, I fully enjoyed this record. I love the busy drumming.
