Jazz saxophonist Ornette Coleman graces us with his debut album “ Something Else !!!!” released in November 1958; Classified as “Free Jazz”. With the feature of a piano rarely to be seen in his subsequent albums, he brings out an invigorated look into how jazz is pliable and smooth. With traditional bebop applications that leave your face cringed with the twists and curls of the instruments, the responses they give; as if they are in a conversation and only the instruments are allowed to talk. This album is indeed something else entirely.
