A watershed album in the genesis of avant-garde jazz, Coleman\’s 1959 The Shape Of Jazz To Come is true to his title. Switching from tenor to alto sax, Ornette literally invents free jazz, by approaching classic structures in a revolutionary way, and creating a language where chord structures are absent (he refused to use any piano or guitar on this music) and harmony gives way to improvisational whims. Backed by an all-star line up consisting in Charlie Haden, Billy Higgins, and Don Cherry, this is the album that freed Jazz and reinvented it.
