The Ornette Coleman Double Quartet: Free Jazz Speakers Corner 180g Vinyl
£35.00The term ‘free jazz’ was already in existence – but it had a quite different meaning, namely jazz without paying for an entrance ticket.
The album “Free Jazz”, however, was intended to lend its name to a quite different style of jazz. ‘
Free’ playing – now this meant that no one was bound to conventions, you could let your imagination run loose. Free jazz gave one the chance to find new rules for every new composition. And it was to be the greatest boost to innovation in the world of jazz.
Ornette Coleman’s album from December 1960 stands at the beginning of the free jazz era like a massive portal.
