This guy in my freshman year Spanish class at the University of Oregon (before I was a slug) tipped me off to this album. I had been listening to Miles Davis and just a bit of Coltrane at the time.
Ornette Coleman's album is really hard to get a handle on. The first track-- Lonely Woman-- has some kick, and the rest of the album is intense, not swinging and cool like the other stuff I was listening to. It's hard work.
More than 10 years on it's something I love, but only in semi-regular, small doses.
