An extraordinary session of extraordinary musicians – this is actually always the case with Ornette Coleman. The music on the album ‘Love Call’, recorded in the late 60s, is no exception: revolutionary music, definitely not easy, for the experienced listener. Interesting on this Blue Note jewel are once again the Liner Noters, written by the renowned jazz critic Leonard Feather.

He puts the challenging music of Mr. Coleman into a larger context: ‘It has become increasingly apparent that over the years, just as our ears have adapted themselves with the changing times and the revolution that took place in sound during the last decade, so has Coleman himself matured and found new avenues of communication, more effective mixtures of consonance and dissonance than were revealed in his early works.’

What does that mean? Fortunately Ornette has grown up, the noise is over, welcome to the Jazz mainstream? We all had to be proven wrong, we have developed with the music of Mr. Coleman and finally understood his revolutionary sonic ideas? I don’t know how I would have reacted, 52 years ago – now, in this moment, I listen and enjoy.
