• The seminal Ornette Coleman Atlantic album “The Shape of Jazz to Come” in its entirety, with two bonus tracks only previously on a recent Japanese edition - featuring the debut of the splendid piano-less quartet with Don Cherry, Charlie Haden and Billy Higgins.

• A watershed event in the genesis of avant-garde jazz, the record shattered traditional concepts of jazz harmony, disposing of both the piano player and the whole idea of concretely outlined chord changes.

• Although, at the time, most critics felt that Coleman’s musical concepts on ‘The Shape of Jazz to Come’ were too radical, in hindsight it is a much tamer and less challenging work (for the listener) than many later recordings by Coleman or other free jazz musicians.

• Personnel : Ornette Coleman, alto sax; Don Cherry, cornet; Charlie Haden, bass; Billy Higgins, drums - Hollywood, California, May 22, 1959.

• Total Time: 47:53 - 8 tracks - Includes 12-page booklet
