Miles Davis had publicly called him a madman. Leonard Bernstein found him, for his part, completely awesome. Few were those that didn’t have a definitive opinion on Ornette Coleman. Some kind of outlaw who preferred playing his own compositions rather than jazz classics, the American saxophonist also developed harmolodics, a theory uniting harmonics and melody. Coleman would remain a trailblazer, a spoilsport who would influence legions of musicians, and would also annoy a good number of them… This box of ten discs compiles one of the most important era in the career of his author. Between 1959 and 1961, he released six studio albums for the Atlantic label. Six albums that are present here and spiced up with alternative takes and various bonuses, all of this of course impeccably remastered by John Webber. Through the opuses The Shape Of Jazz To Come (1959), Change Of The Century (1959), This Is Our Music (1960), Free Jazz: A Collective Improvisation (1960), Ornette! (1961) and Ornette On Tenor (1961), and the compilations The Art Of Improvisers (1970), Twins (1971), To Whom Who Keeps A Record (1975) and The Ornette Coleman Legacy (1993), we discover the protean art of a musician that had never stopped reassessing himself. A singular and unique voice assisted by other singular and unique voices like Don Cherry, Charlie Haden, Scott LaFaro, Billy Higgins and Ed Blackwell. © Marc Zisman/Qobuz

Recorded in 1995 for the label No More Records, Symbol Systems reappears in 2018 in a remastered version thanks to Hat Hut, a label specialised in avant-garde free and jazz music. A sort of catchall genre, in which Matthew Shipp has nicely made his mark. In the middle of the 1990s, the American pianist, 35 years old at the time, had already authored five albums and amassed a rather large following. This album was his first solo attempt. A sort of trial by fire for the outlaw that some describe as the spiritual son of Cecil Taylor.
Except that the fourteen tracks on Symbol Systems highlight how reductive the filiation is in fact, as Shipp plays with textures and tones in a completely different way than his illustrious elder. Just like with his unruly peers Marilyn Crispell and Myra Melford, his piano feeds off from various sources and isn’t exclusively percussive. At times, it even leans towards Bud Powell, Andrew Hill or Herbie Nichols. Matthew Shipp is able to arrange his numerous influences in a rather singular and original manner. The 23 years between the release of Symbol Systems and its remastered version show that time has made this piece – that is, it’s true, not suited for every ear − even more profound and beautiful. © Marc Zisman/Qobuz
