Does Illinois Drivers License Have A Hologram

you said free?



• December 21, 1960

The output of thirty-centimeter disc two sides entitled Free Jazz (A Collective Improvisation By The Ornette Coleman Double Quartet) under reference Atlantic LP 1364, saxophonist Ornette Coleman , which gives the clear and sounds like a conscious aesthetic revolution, is the birth of the musical movement that takes its name.

The album Free Jazz was recorded unprepared by two quartets - one on each stereo channel - Ornette Coleman umbrella (sax), with Don Cherry (trumpet), Scott LaFaro (bass) and Billy Higgins (drums), and Eric Dolphy (bass clarinet), Freddie Hubbard (trumpet), Charlie Haden (bass) and Ed Blackwell (drums).

In line with the political and social claims and revolts "racial" American blacks, the free jazz - in addition to the principled refusal of constraints - advocates a return to collective improvisation absolute forgotten after the wave New Orleans.

Wary themes harmonic and rhythmic patterns of the swing and routines of bebop, the free is characterized by enhancement of energy, breath, climate, or by hosting sporadic quack, ducks, wa-wa - dissonance - the silences, the growl and accidents.
