Not a fan of this kind of sporadic Jazz. Although given it is some of the best of it's style, it is still vomiting notes out randomly.

On this album - undoubtably, one of the greatest jazz albums of all-time - Coleman successfully utilized an improvisational structure that nevertheless does not detract from the 'catchy' appeal of the music. Convoluted dynamics and the countless abrupt and seemingly instantaneous musical detours are so profound that it appears as if this is the norm of Coleman's music. Thus, the sense of theatre in his music is enhanced at the expense of the more traditional narrative styles of blues and jazz. Coleman's compositions are bold, radical and instinctive.

Coleman, Haden, Cherry and Blackwell are the freedom in action. Ahead in thirty or forty years on evolution of jazz. Today, listen this album is an enjoyment without lose the high voltage.

There's supposed to be something fantastic about this album, and I ain't sayin' there ain't. I sure can't find it though.
