Written by Ornette Coleman
Despite the title, this is not a late compilation, but Coleman's debut album, one of the only ones to feature piano in the combo. It's free jazz with blues influences, and apparently made quite an impact when it came out. I do not have an educated ear for jazz; what's most apparent for me is Coleman's sax duetting with the cornet and the rattling percussion. I read elsewhere that for some listeners, the piano isn't really gelling with the rest of the band, playing in an older bebop style; maybe that's why Coleman got rid of it afterwards.
