Jazz's experimental spirit opens up new horizons
Ornette Coleman and his two quartets embark on a journey to the limits of improvisation.
The composition, in which different performances are played simultaneously on the left and right channels, completely overturns conventional notions of jazz. Order exists amidst chaos, and harmony is created even as the individual personalities of each performer clash. This timeless masterpiece, recorded at a crucial turning point in music history, is hailed as a milestone in free jazz.
