| Limited edition LP-Sleeve Japanese-only reissue of this classic outtakes album, featuring recordings from 1971-72, originally issued by Columbia (it ended his brief tenure with the label, following Science Fiction & Skies of America). Made in NYC, with Dewey Redman, Don Cherry, Bobby Bradford, Charlie Haden, Ed Blackwell & Billy Higgins. Four of the tracks are from the Science Fiction sessions. "Masterpieces and mere curiosities, triumphs, trials, and errors fill these grooves.
Above all, Broken Shadows is informed by the call and responses and stomps and joys and sorrows of the Texas blues -- the heart of Ornette Coleman's music since the days when he was knocking around the R&B circuit in Fort Worth. As Gary Giddins wrote of this most profoundly American artist: 'One of the ironies in contemporary music is that it took a theorist of unusually acute hearing and sophistication to restore the ragged cry of the blues in jazz. This is the core of Coleman's achievement, and the same could be said of Louis Armstrong and Charlie Parker.'" |
