JAZZ CD PICK OF THE WEEK - ORNETTE COLEMAN


This weeks Jazz CD Pick of the Week is the 1959 recording from Ornette Coleman titled Tomorrow is The Question. Now I have to admit that up until very recently I only had one lone Ornette cd in my vast collection of jazz cd's. I have recently picked up a few more of Ornette's cd's and have been pleasantly surprised. I guess I had thought that Ornette was this far out, free jazz type of cat but I don't find this to be the case at all. Either that or my ears have opened up a little bit. On this recording Ornette is teamed with Don Cherry on trumpet and operates without a piano, only bass and drums. A very hip jazz cd that is definitely worth a listen (see link).
