Ornette Coleman was a pioneering American jazz saxophonist, composer, and bandleader. Born in 1930 in Fort Worth, Texas, he revolutionized the jazz scene with his unique approach to improvisation and composition. Coleman's innovative playing style, characterized by his use of unconventional scales and harmonies, challenged traditional notions of jazz and paved the way for the free jazz movement. His albums like "The Shape of Jazz to Come" and "Free Jazz: A Collective Improvisation" are considered classics of the genre. Throughout his career, Coleman received numerous accolades including a Pulitzer Prize for Music in 2007. His musical legacy continues to inspire generations of musicians.

The second album by Ornette Coleman’s legendary quartet featuring Don Cherry, Charlie Haden, and Billy Higgins, Change of the Century is every bit the equal of the monumental The Shape of Jazz to Come, showcasing a group that was growing ever more confident in its revolutionary approach and the chemistry in the bandmembers’ interplay. When Coleman concentrates on melody, his main themes are catchier, and when the pieces emphasize group interaction, the improvisation is freer. Two of Coleman’s most memorable classic compositions are here in their original forms - Ramblin’ has all the swing and swagger of the blues, and Una Muy Bonita is oddly disjointed, its theme stopping and starting in totally unexpected places. An American free-jazz classic from one of the biggest names in the genre.
