Ornette Coleman - Free Jazz

this is as influential as it gets. the first explicity "free jazz" recording, this features Ornette, Eric Dolphy, Freddy Hubbard, Scott LaFaro, Billy Higgins, Don Cherry, Charlie Haden, and Ed Blackwell. this abum is actually pretty accessible, at least in comparison to what would later come from the scene this spawned.
