Ornette Coleman...

...turned 75 today.

Listening one of my favourite of his recordings "Sound Museum" and "Song X"(with Pat Metheny) I join everyone who has for him the best wishes on his anniversary!

What a well balanced and extremely approachable work. If only I had heard that one years ago, I'd be much further along. It has been only over the past year that I have truly gotten Ornette. I echo the sentiments above, his music is amazing and stands apart.

Well, you already have one of two that I'd recommend, TSOJTC. The other would be something quite a bit different, 1960 Free Jazz (A Collective Improvisation). I expect to grab a copy of This Is Our Music soon. Happy listening. I'd welcome suggestions too.
