Ornette Coleman Ornette on Tenor

High Quality Pure Analogue 180g Virgin Vinyl LP!
It would be an understatement to say that Ornette Coleman's time at Atlantic changed the jazz world forever. On Ornette On Tenor, his sixth LP for the label (not counting outtake compilations), he switches to tenor saxophone, but the great enrichment of this record is the participation of Jimmy Garrison on double bass. Compared to the previous record Ornette! (with Scott LaFaro on bass), these recordings sound more earthy, darker. In Coleman's sound cosmos, Garrison fits seamlessly into the band's sound and as an accompanist he fits perfectly with Coleman's tenor saxophone. He seems to have a lot of fun with the instrument, which he used to blow in rhythm and blues combos. His lines often breathe exactly this atmosphere, sometimes you think you hear a "free" Coleman Hawkins.
Since the damage to his instrument during a robbery, Coleman had played little tenor, but had not lost his affection for the sensitive, expressive and appealing tone. This could indicate a more musically accessible session, but it is not. It is rather more adventurous, as there are no memorable topics to return to. All four musicians are accompanists, all four are soloists, lines with different weightings constantly cross, overlap and support each other, one thinks of an extensive walk through a constantly changing (and yet constant) landscape. The revolution is continued.
This Speakers Corner LP was remastered using pure analogue components only, from the master tapes through to the cutting head.
