Released in 1960, Change of the Century stands as one of Ornette Coleman's most pivotal recordings, capturing the alto saxophonist at a defining moment in jazz history. Featuring an iconic quartet with Don Cherry on pocket trumpet, Charlie Haden on bass, and Billy Higgins on drums, the album helped lay the groundwork for the free jazz movement that would reshape the genre for decades to come.
Tracks like "Free" and the title track showcase Coleman's dissonant, emotionally expressive style at its most awe-inspiring, with critics likening the album's impact on free jazz to what Dizzy Gillespie's "Bebop" meant for bebop. Cut from the original analog master tapes by Kevin Gray and pressed at Optimal, this vinyl edition offers a wide, three-dimensional soundstage with natural timbre — making it a compelling addition for both devoted jazz fans and serious collectors alike.
