This is the best thing I've ever listened to in my entire life. After letting it sit for a few years, I've only just realized today the impact it's had on me. What do you guys think about this masterpiece?
It's one of the greatest jazz records ever, but my favorite is Charles Mingus' Let My Children Hear Music

Have it on right now, it's its own special groove, MSNF.
Haven't you seen Aaron has a shirt of this shit?
It's a meme album.

free jazz 101
its like the ramones s/t of jazz, good but immediately improved upon by same artist and others
At first when I I had listened to it a few times I didn't think it was that special outside its influence. But the more I learned about microtonality, the more I learned to appreciate it. As a result a lot of the repeating simple phrases that I used to think were boring are actually the best parts of the album.

This is radically better, more influential and memorable, and it was recorded one year after TSOJTC.
Still, one of the best jazz albums ever--
anything by dolphy is better desu
this album is nothing special at all. Please listen to more free jazz it gets so much better than this
Peace is perfect !!
Check out jimmy Lyons if you haven't also bird = ornette = Dolphy if you know anything about 8th note lines

>ITT: people who think TSOJTC is actually free jazz; also people who can't into microtonality

dont forget to put your trip back on when you post in /daily/, freetard
Also - live at the Hillcrest club w Paul Bley is a must listen if you like this (along with Mingus Cornell 1964 and maybe Andrew Hill's Point of Departure and if yr there already the Soothsayer is incredible)
Lonely Woman is one of the greatest tracks ever
The Shape of Jazz to Come bridges nicely bebop ideas with more modern developments - great album

it is free jazz and ornette and charlie haden are not playing with the equal temperment system - uhhh listen a little harder to the ends of ornette's lines and how the overtones never click in the way equal temperment does

I don't post in daily dumbfuck.

TSOJTC is important in free jazz's development but isn't free jazz itself. Same way Venom's music isn't actually Black Metal but was big for it.
No shit they aren't messing with the equal temperament system. The whole point of Coleman's approach to microtonality on TSOJTC is the opposite of it.
