10 years early, by releasing "The Shape Of Jazz To Come", Ornette Coleman made his mark in Jazz community. He continued to record consistent music with great talents. This is Ornette Coleman "Crisis", released by Impluse! in 1969. This was his 2nd album released from Impluse!, after releasing moderate records for Blue Note in mid 60s. This is surprising, but there is no CD reissue for this album. Someone must have forgotten about the album. This is so easy to classify as his all-star line-up, with Haden on bass and Cherry on trumpet. There are a few bits and pieces that people talk about his then 12-years old son playing drums. You could always compare with Billy Higgins or Ed Blackwell as his main drummers, or others such as Elvin Jones or Sunny Murray.But on this album, because it is such a good recording, the band plays in such fiery, intense and provocative music. He is still active in NYC as of today, still trying to express "the sound".Burning Bill of Rights on the cover? Man! This cannot be happening.
This was recorded live at concert in New York University, NYC, March 22, 1969.
