Click the play button to listen

Ornette Coleman and Blue Note—not exactly the chocolate and peanut butter of the jazz world, one might think, but for two productive years the avant-garde avatar toiled in the vineyards of the hard bop powerhouse. The label recently released Round Trip—a box set re-issuing the fruits of this odd collaboration—and the boys take a deep dive. Except for the collaboration with Jackie McLean, because that gives Mike PTSD.
