About
This was Ornette Coleman’s indie debut in 1958, followed by one more for the Contemporary label (<i>Tomorrow Is the Question!</i>) and then the important signing to Atlantic in 1959. The Texas-born alto saxophonist was clearly in a lane of his own, exploring a new improvisational language and approach with pocket trumpeter Don Cherry as his stalwart ally in the frontline. This was bebop, but not—the harmonic density was absent, reconfigured, the melodies drenched in blues and folkloric inflection. It swung hard, even if differently. It was scandalous and anarchic to some, but now a tune like “When Will the Blues Leave?” is simply an essential piece of the modern jazz literature, one that well-versed players ought to know. .
