«The Shape of Jazz to Come» is the album by Ornette Coleman, released in 2001 by Rhino, on CD.
Originally released in 1959, the album presents an approach to jazz in which melodies move away from conventional harmonies and improvisation takes center stage. Coleman plays alto saxophone alongside Don Cherry, Charlie Haden and Billy Higgins; the result became a reference point for free jazz.
This CD edition, in stereo, runs 38 minutes and is a reissue reproducing the original cover art and liner notes; it is part of the Atlantic Original Sound series.
A reference work for those interested in jazz and the origins of free jazz.
