DANCING IN YOUR HEAD ( AS ORNETTE COLEMAN)

Ornette Coleman is a legend in Jazz circles putting out albums since the 50's and the man can play the sax. He also creates very difficult music that I would suggest is Free Jazz here other than the 2 short tracks which come across to me as Avant/Jazz. Far from the easy listening, smooth Jazz that was being released in the second half of the 70's. This music will clear a room guaranteed. Basically a five piece with two lead guitarists surprisingly along with bass and drums and of course Ornette's constant wailing on the sax.

This will be a short one and I agree with Easy Money that it would have been refreshing if Coleman had let the guitarists have some space to do their thing. This to me is an unusual recording as even the drums are different sounding along with those guitars. This really is out there and not in a good way in my music world. And I was surprised that there' aren't more horns on here although Robert Palmer adds clarinet on the short pieces.

Yes I've wandered too far from home when it comes to Jazz, this is Free Jazz with some insane sax throughout. There should be a warning on the cover of this album. When I agree with Easy Money on the rating at least I know I'm in good company. I know little beyond Jazz Rock and Jazz Fusion I'll admit.
