Ornette Coleman - The Shape of Jazz to Come (1959)



Been meaning to check this out for years, since the Refused basically stole the title. Kind of a 'watershed' moment for jazz, the break into avantgarde or free jazz, as I understand it.


01 - Lonely Woman (05:01)
02 - Eventually (04:22)
03 - Peace (09:02)
04 - Focus on Sanity (06:50)
05 - Congeniality (06:47)
06 - Chronology (06:04)
