Ornette Coleman's Sadness


Ethereal 1962 recording of Ornette Coleman. What I love about Ornette Coleman is his blues roots. He never forgot his Texas R&B roots, which really imbues this lament with more tragedy. The effective incorporation of various strings only enhances Coleman's penchant for multi-layered textures of sound. Truly an excellent paean for an all-too familiar human condition, and key to the blues.
