The Ornette Coleman Double Quartet - Free Jazz A Collective Improvisation

Review by Carolyn Laxton

The album Free Jazz A Collective Improvisation by Ornette Coleman Double Quartet is a must-listen for jazz enthusiasts. The album comprises two extended tracks, each clocking in at over 18 minutes, and is a perfect example of how Coleman's unique approach to jazz revolutionized the genre.

The album features two quartets playing simultaneously, creating a dense and intricate soundscape. The music is characterized by its freedom and spontaneity, with the musicians improvising and exploring different musical ideas throughout the tracks.

The album's first track, "Free Jazz: Part 1," is a chaotic and intense piece that showcases the incredible musicianship of the two quartets. The musicians play off each other, creating a complex and layered sound that is both challenging and rewarding for the listener.

The second track, "Free Jazz: Part 2," is a more subdued and introspective piece that allows the musicians to showcase their individual talents. The track features some beautiful solos from Coleman and his bandmates, highlighting their ability to improvise and create music on the spot.
