Track Of The Day: Ornette Coleman - Ramblin' (Atlantic)

 

This is from Coleman’s fourth album, and obviously a lot more conventional than what came later. And what came later is an acquired taste. ‘Ramblin’’ is aptly named. It pootles along nicely, like I do on some of my more recent runs. Loads of lovely soloes to enjoy. And, in spite of its relativity, it has a mind of its own.
