This is considered the landmark free jazz album my most Musicologist.
Notice the swing?
Coleman was famous for playing random melody lines. He didn't stick to an established 'structure', meaning key, meter, mode, scale, etc. Some of his melody lines are quite good and he gets off making 'horsey' sounds on his sax.
On this recording he recorded two quartets at the same time playing off each other. One is panned left, the other right.
He also got run out of most venues he played and even got beat up because he drove traditional jazz cats nuts.
he played "in the cracks" LMAO..
from wikipedia:
From the beginning of his career, Coleman's music and playing were in many ways unorthodox. His approach to harmony and chord progression was far less rigid than that of bebop performers; he was increasingly interested in playing what he heard rather than fitting it into predetermined chorus-structures and harmonies. His raw, highly vocalized sound and penchant for playing "in the cracks" of the scale led many Los Angeles jazz musicians to regard Coleman's playing as out-of-tune. He sometimes had difficulty finding like-minded musicians with whom to perform. Nevertheless, pianist Paul Bley was an early supporter and musical collaborator.
Srila Prabhupada once said:
Therefore, in the Srimad-Bhagavatam it is said that this is the incarnation of God in this age. And who worships Him? The process is very simple. Just keep a picture of Lord Chaitanya with His associates.
