Product Description
To commemorate the 75th anniversary of Contemporary Records, a leading West Coast label, in 2026, 28 representative SHM-CDs originally released for the label's 60th anniversary are being re-pressed for a limited time. This work showcases the blossoming aesthetic of Ornette Coleman, who broke down conventional concepts with his strong individuality and began moving towards a new era of jazz. Featuring West Coast jazz heavyweights such as Shelly Manne in the rhythm section, and collaborating with his close friend Don Cherry, this is a new era of jazz.
