Ornette Coleman Double Quartet

Free Jazz [1960]

Originally released in 1960 by Atlantic Records.

This is a gatefold reissue (not sure what year, but quite new I think).

A legendary album!

Truly groundbreaking music from Ornette Coleman and his Double Quartet, amongst others: Don Cherry, Eric Dolphy, Scott LaFaro, Freddie Hubbard etc. Impossible to create bad music if you are playing with those kind of people…

A great starting point if you want to dip your toes in the vast sea of free jazz, but of course, the real Magic started to happen in the mid ‘60 with Albert Ayler and when Coltrane lost his mind.

This is Perfection!
