JamesFew albums have altered jazz history so dramatically. Coleman's rejection of conventional harmonic structures shocked listeners at the time, yet the music feels remarkably melodic and human. Don Cherry's trumpet complements Coleman's alto beautifully. The performances emphasize collective interaction over predetermined form. More than sixty years later, it still sounds radical.
