Ornette Coleman – Crisis

Out of stock

$25.00

A superb and under-recognized recording, Crisis is one-third of a trilogy of extraordinary albums — the others being Broken Shadows and Science Fiction — by Ornette Coleman’s small groups of the late ’60s and early ’70s. A rendition of the piece “Broken Shadows” itself, a dirge of astonishing beauty second only to his “Lonely Woman,” opens the live performance and offers solos of deep and poignant probity from Coleman and tenorist Dewey Redman, whose earthy growled tones counterbalanced the leader’s so well for so long. Crisis somehow lacks the reputation of the revolutionary Coleman albums from early in his career, but on purely musical grounds it ranks among his most satisfying works. LP 180 gram gatefold.
