Product Description

This 2023 Reissue LP is pressed on Red vinyl.

Ornette Coleman's groundbreaking 1959 album, "The Shape of Jazz To Come," is a seminal work that redefined the boundaries of jazz. Released on January 1, 1959, under the Rhino Atlantic label, this album is a pioneering exploration of free jazz, blending elements of hard bop, bebop, and avant-garde styles. With a runtime of just 38 minutes, it packs a powerful punch, showcasing Coleman's innovative approach to melody, harmony, and improvisation.

The album features six tracks, all recorded in mono, including standout pieces like "Lonely Woman" and "Eventually." Coleman's quartet, featuring Don Cherry on trumpet, Charlie Haden on bass, and Billy Higgins on drums, delivers a raw and unfiltered sound that challenges traditional jazz conventions. The compositions are intricate yet accessible, with a focus on collective improvisation and a departure from the standard chord-progression-based soloing.

"The Shape of Jazz To Come" is not just an album; it's a testament to Ornette Coleman's visionary genius. It's a work that invites listeners to experience jazz in a new light, pushing the genre forward with bold experimentation and unparalleled creativity. Whether you're a seasoned jazz enthusiast or a curious newcomer, this album offers a unique and rewarding listening experience that continues to resonate over six decades later.

    Funny thing, the one I just got has this hype sticker and my record is black. It’s my fav color though. All good, just wondering

  • Remastered Album Impressive

    5 out of 5 stars
    bcuhrgqizsaj17 December 2025United States🇺🇸

    Wow, this album is absolutely fantastic! I've only ever owned a low-quality sounding pressing before this one. From what I understand, they remastered it using the original tapes? I might have reduced the high end just a bit, then it would be flawless. My copy has a few minor pops and ticks after giving it an ultrasonic clean. It appears there's no way to distinguish that it's the Speaker's Corner version except for the sticker on the front.

  • VMP Version Wins

    5 out of 5 stars
    kwngpektr6 November 2025United States🇺🇸

    Outstanding mastering and pressing throughout. I absolutely adored this one and it was my top pick for a long time. But I gotta admit, I lean a bit more towards the VMP version. It's all about the packaging for me, plus Ryan's mix and the mono sound—that's the copy I keep reaching for over this Kevin Gray cut. I even gave this reissue away 'cause it just wasn't getting any playtime when the VMP was right there beside it. It's totally a matter of personal taste. You can't go wrong with either one.

  • Top-Notch Tunes and Quality

    5 out of 5 stars
    xellqjus27 October 2025United States🇺🇸

    The tunes on this one are truly top-notch, no doubt about it. The sound quality is phenomenal, with rem rei that's absolutely superb. The pressing is excellent, flat as a pancake and practically noise-free. The gatefold cover is sturdy and well-made. It's hard to ask for more than this. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who's into this particular style.

About Ornette Coleman

Ornette Coleman, the groundbreaking American jazz innovator, redefined the boundaries of music with his revolutionary approach to sound.
