Ornette Coleman: New York Is Now! | CD, Blue Note

On April 29 and May 7, 1968, iconoclastic saxophonist Ornette Coleman brought a dynamic quartet with tenor saxophonist Dewey Redman, bassist Jimmy Garrison, and drummer Elvin Jones into the studio to record what would yield his final two albums for Blue Note: New York Is Now! and Love Call. The alchemy of this group, which combined Coleman’s first-time two-saxophone pairing with a rhythm team deeply associated with John Coltrane, produced thrilling results.
