Spy vs. Spy: The Music of Ornette Coleman

Guess I'm a John Zorn dilettante.

This was something I didn’t know I needed in my life. Thank you. Too bad the only way to listen to it is through a youtube playlist where every song was uploaded by a different person. Worth it though.

Incredibly loud, but a journey nevertheless. From what the hell, to God no, to bopping, to why am I doing this, to is the disheases done, to doing it and resting in the thought that it was interesting even if I'll never listen to it again

Can’t work out if I just listened to the same noise over and over again or if there was anything different between the tracks.

Well that was uncomfortable.
I like weird things and I like jazz but this felt like assault, brother. I've been physically abused in the ear.
I gave it a fair shake, I can't think of any situation in which this would be in any way appropriate. Brenda says jazz makes her nervous. This would make Brenda have a seizure.

This is glorious. It sounds like complete chaos but somehow... not? Almost like independent machines that occasionally have their parts line up... really fun! :)

This gets more hate here than it deserves. It’s a tough listen I’ll give you that and it’s hard to evaluate on a couple casual run throughs. But if you peel back the layers there are some interesting things happening under the noise.

Not stimulating enough. Try scrolling through TikTok's FYP man... smh

Lol, I got whiplash on the first beat. It's like Trout Mask in its polyrhythms but with much more skilled jazz playing. This is still really goofy though, like imagine playing Guitar Hero to this 🥀. It's good music to work to but when you have too much, my brain becomes this jazzy chaos. Take in moderation basically (2.5-3).

Om jeg begriber, hvorfor folk kan lide sådan noget her

Det allerbedste er, når der en sjælden gang imellem er snerten af en rytme, der ikke er 13/7-dele, eller selvfølgelig når et nummer slutter. Derudover rykker anden halvdel af pladen det hele væsentligt op. Altså op på minimumskarakteren.
Det er den mest stensikre 1'er - ligeså sikker som Hr. Robbie Williams

1.00

Noise & Grindcore Jazz dafuq

...lol. honestly I liked it the more I listened. reading about the making of the record and John Zorn/ornette Coleman was interesting. don't consider myself a freeform jazz guy but this hit enough hardcore/punk buttons that it kept me engaged. I'll probably put this on at work when I remember to scare the hoes

Probably the best Jazz I’ve ever heard. 2.88

this was just straight noise tbh... had it on the lowest volume and still hated it

It's something different and at the same time I can't tell the songs apart. Love the attitude

Not on Spotify- but YouTube helped

Not an easy listen and it does take some understanding, but overall it’s okay . Avant-garde syncopated jazz

Weirdly the worst parts are the overly screechy saxophones. Odd as Zorn is a saxophonist

Makes Trout Mask Replica feel like easy listening

I found this on YouTube slipped around to confirm it was all the same thing, and. Posing listen to it.

Hahahaha. Wild. 2/5.

Haha, wat een onluisterbare zaad is dit zeg. Ik ga dit echt niet verdedigen in de naam van experimentatie. Ornette Coleman's 'The Shape Of Jazz To Come' (en meer van zijn werk) is fucking geniaal en staat niet op deze lijst maar deze waardeloze rendities wel??? Veel merkwaardige keuze's gezien in deze boeken, maar dit slaat echt als een lul op een drumstel.

Amazing.
