Format:Audio CD
The Ornette Coleman quartet that recorded the 1959 groundbreaking ATLANTIC classics 'The Shape of Jazz to Come' & 'Change of the Century' reunited in 1987 to perform this electrifying Hamburg concert. Most of the tracks appeared on their album 'In All Languages' recorded previously that year but there are also fascinating versions of 1950s' pieces such as 'Lonely Woman', 'The Sphinx' and 'Turnaround'.
With excellent sound quality and inspired playing from Ornette(alto & trumpet), Don Cherry(cornet), Charlie Haden(bass) & Billy Higgins(drums) this is one of the best live Ornette albums I've heard since his 1965 'Croydon Concert'(see my review). 'The 1987 Hamburg Concert' is an essential part of any Ornette Coleman collection and should appeal to anyone who appreciates adventurous, passionate modern jazz.

Fantastic recording!
2 Dec 2011
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is an absolutely fantastic CD. First of all, it is excellently recorded. You can hear each instrument with clarity and spaciousness. Second, the performances are great! Everyone is playing at the top of their game, and there is a special quality of accessibility in these performances that is unusual. This is the quartet that changed everything in jazz, and live recordings of this particular group are exceedingly rare. Highly recommended.
Problem with Disc 2, track 5

This is a GREAT album for fans of Ornette and his classic quartet. But something has gone seriously wrong with Disc 2, Track #5 in the MP3 download of this set. After a few seconds at the beginning, it degenerates into sheer hiss, with an occasional hint of music bleeding through. I was disappointed, but I'm still enthusiastic about anything by Ornette that I haven't heard before!
