Sound Grammar

by Ornette Coleman

Earning the veteran saxophonist a highly deserved Pulitzer Prize for Music, this album captures his uniquely arranged quartet—featuring two acoustic bassists—performing live in Germany. The recording highlights his revolutionary harmolodic theories in full flight, remaining wildly inventive, deeply bluesy, and incredibly vibrant well into his seventies.
