This CD is one of the best Jazz comps I ever heard, every song is mesmerizing! Another good one has just been released, it called "Tone Dialing" by Ornette Coleman and Prime Time. Electronics, free jazz, hip-hop(but Jazz hip-hop, e.g. not like Guru). If you think some Aphex Twin or Autechre is musically and rythmically challenging check this CD out.

Agreed, I also got this one - from Tampere City Library, would you believe! ;) There's among all my old favourite "A Love Supreme" by John Coltrane, and also a great version by his widow, Alice Coltrane, which wouldn't sound out of place at all on any Mo' Wax release - like many other pieces here. It's amazing how familiar a lot of this stuff actually sounds, maybe thanks to many aforementioned Mo' Wax's releases, which utilize (and even maybe sample?) the same kind of mellow jazzy/ambientish soundspaces, as the artists above. Certainly makes me want to check out more stuff from these names... :) ObIDM: are you kidding! ;)

I'd just like to add that there are a couple of other Ornette Coleman discs that might be of interest too: _Virgin Beauty_, which is similar to _Tone Dialing_, and _Song X_ which is a collaboration with Pat Metheny (who uses a guitar synth with what seems like a saxophone patch on most tracks). The latter of the two is particularly interesting as there are two drummers present, including Denardo Coleman (who plays these Simmons-type electronic drums) and Jack DeJohnette (on acoustic drums). Add Charlie Haden (who's been playing w/Coleman since back in the day) on upright bass, and you get some tremendous polyrhythms. The other thing to note about Coleman is that he has this 'harmolodics' method of playing jazz, which is probably the closest thing to real improvisation. Coleman essentially writes tunes using the traditional head-solo-head structure, but uses no predefined chord progression. The solos, then, are based on melodic and rhythmic motifs from the head, as well as the general mood of the tune; improvisation is not limited to a chordal structure or a specific key. This method really works on the _Song X_ disc, which is at times really chaotic but also has some of the most amazing melodies I've ever heard. Supposedly the tour that followed the record was just incredible, so I'm really sad to have missed it. GD
