However, there is.Ĭoleman's solo is inspired, quenched in gospel and the blues. Boasting impressive titles such as Something Else!!!, The Shape of Jazz to Come, 'Free,' 'The Face of the Bass,' and the title of this album, Change of the Century, Coleman knew he was onto something new. Prior to his 1961 masterpiece Free Jazz, Ornette Coleman's rhetoric overmatched his playing. 'Forerunner' pretends that it is bebop, with a serpentine head and a deft drum break by Higgins.

Cherry pops on his solo, sometimes sounding like, sometimes. Coleman encourages a careful abandon in the piece's overall structure and arrangement. 'The Face Of Bass' gives prominence to Haden while at the same time sounding strangely traditional for an album entitled Change of the Century.īut it is a facade. Higgins' accents are as potent as pepper, shoring up the edges of chaos on the briskly-timed piece. Haden is rock solid throughout, even when the solo-going gets ragged and frayed. The head of 'Free' is an odd premonition for composer/saxophonist 's 'Hoedown' from The Blues and the Abstract Truth (Impulse!, 1961), passing through an ascending and descending blues figure.

'Ramblin' retains an erstwhile harmonic structure, albeit only barely. His intonation is middle-of-the-note, relaxed and slightly wooden. Haden solos using the figures he has supported the whole piece with.

Cherry plays his famous pocket trumpet, sounding closer to than anyone else, squeezing out hard bop lines like sparks from a metal lathe. Coleman's solo over Haden's support is bar-walking rhythm and blues, lowdown and dirty, smelling of beer and Lucky Strikes. Haden plucks and strums his way through a fractured 12-bar format that never fully resolves itself into the comfort of the anticipated. 'Ramblin' is funky organic, almost early rock and roll.

Change of the Century is compelling in its embrace of contrasts. While the rhythm section continued to provide enough cohesive swing to propel matters, Coleman and Cherry stretched the melodic boundaries without the previous harmonic anchors. But that was not so on (Atlantic, 1959) and Change Of The Century. On that recording, he and his 'freedom principle' remained partially inhibited by the presence of traditionalist bassist and drummer, who resisted coloring outside of the lines as Coleman was attempting to do. Having eliminated the piano on his Contemporary release, (1959), Coleman opened up wide improvisational opportunities. At the same time, he looked backward too for inspiration. On his second Atlantic releaseand second with his most like-minded ensemble (trumpeter, bassist and drummer )alto saxophonist Ornette Coleman pushed the freedom principal farther. Ornette Coleman Change Of The Century 1959 Change Of The Century was an audacious album title, to say the least.
