Product description

Ornette Coleman's seminal work, Skies Of America, is a groundbreaking masterpiece that embodies the essence of free jazz, jazz, avant-garde, hard bop, and bebop. Released on 28 April 1972 via Columbia, this 41-minute album is a testament to Coleman's innovative spirit and creative genius.

The album's diverse tracklist, featuring pieces such as 'Skies Of America', 'Native Americans', and 'The Soul Within Woman', showcases Coleman's unique ability to blend disparate styles and moods. From the introspective 'Dreams' to the vibrant 'Dancers', each track offers a distinct perspective on the American experience, reflecting Coleman's fascination with the country's cultural landscape.

The inclusion of the London Symphonic Rock Orchestra on 'Sunday In America' adds a new layer of depth to the album, highlighting Coleman's willingness to experiment and push boundaries. With Skies Of America, Ornette Coleman has crafted a work that is both a personal statement and a commentary on the world around him, making it an essential listen for fans of jazz and avant-garde music. This album is a powerful expression of Coleman's artistic vision, and its influence can still be felt today.

This is a 2000 Reissue released as a LP.
