Originally released in 1961, 'This Is Our Music' marked Coleman's third release for the label and certainly one of his finest. Sepia-Tone has newly re-mastered this important release, presenting it with the best sound quality it's ever had. The Ornette Coleman Quartet made music that was simultaneously radical and beautiful - 'This Is Our Music' is incontrovertible evidence.

Album Description
Originally released in 1961, 'This Is Our Music' marked Coleman's third release for the label and certainly one of his finest. Sepia-Tone has newly re-mastered this important release, presenting it with the best sound quality it's ever had. The Ornette Coleman Quartet made music that was simultaneously radical and beautiful - 'This Is Our Music' is incontrovertible evidence.
Never has a title been more accurate than the Ornette Coleman Quartet's This Is Our Music. With Coleman in the lead, the legendary quartet (which also included bassist Charlie Haden, trumpeter Don Cherry, and drummer Ed Blackwell) literally created a new "harmolodic" jazz language that destroyed popular conventions of harmony, melody, and rhythm. It's an accepted concept that Coleman still uses today, but it was never more controversial than when the band cut this music in 1960. Even though Coleman fans can find the material that made up this album on Rhino's Beauty Is a Rare Thing box set, this is the first time that the original landmark album is available domestically on CD in its original format. Unfortunately, there is no new deluxe packaging or additional material, but the music has been remastered to give this album its best production values ever. Released on the Sepia-Tone archive label, this reasonably priced reissue is required listening for any fan of adventurous jazz. --Tad Hendrickson
