DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Free Jazz: A Collective Improvisation is a studio album by American jazz saxophonist Ornette Coleman, released in September 1961. The recording session took place on December 21, 1960, at A&R Studios in New York City. The album is named after the then-nascent free jazz movement.
The music is a continuous free improvisation with only a few brief pre-determined sections, recorded in one take with no overdubbing or editing. The album features what Coleman called a "double quartet," i.e., two self-contained jazz quartets: each with a reed instrument, trumpet, bass, and drums. The two quartets are heard in separate channels, with Coleman's working quartet at the time in the left channel, and the second quartet, including the former Coleman rhythm section of Charlie Haden and Ed Blackwell, on the right.
The two quartets play simultaneously. Free Jazz was the first album-length improvisation at thirty-seven minutes, unheard of at the time.
The original LP package incorporated Jackson Pollock's 1954 painting The White Light. The cover is a gatefold with a cutout window in the lower right corner allowing a glimpse of the painting; opening the cover revealed the full artwork, along with liner notes by critic Martin Williams.
Free Jazz is available as a limited edition of 1000 individually numbered copies on white vinyl.

Let customers speak for us
Great re-issue! The first batch of the series (of 5 batches of 3!) Has just arrived and had their first spin. Great sound, silent and flat vinyl. Just the way I have come to expect from Music On Vinyl. Let the next batch come!
The packaging and art is beautiful!! I love the Young-hee pop up!!
Looks great, well packed and fast delivery.
Looking forward to a rainyday to sest a listern to it.
Would recommend and look forward to my next purchase.
Many thank for a great service.👍
Received in excellent condition. Sound quality is exceptional on this vinyl. Very happy with this purchase. Gave my CD to a friend and I’m listening to this great vinyl record now.
Although the sound of this pressing is not spectacular, it is very good! A discogs review claimed that this pressing "taps you on the shoulders and slaps you in the face" but I wouldn't go so far as to say that it does. But I would say that this pressing sounds fresh and more modern thanks to the better low-end this MOV reissue offers.
It's a very dynamic record with lots of detail and it truly is a great reissue. I did notice a remarkable sonic difference on 'Radio Silence', very detailed and modern sound.
The vinyl labels are a great touch and the printing quality of the sleeve and insert are better than the original.
Pressing: 8/10
Music: 9/10
Sleeve: 8,5/10
