An Evening With Ornette Coleman, Part 1

Limited edition 180-gram transparent pink vinyl pressed at Pallas in Germany

Recorded in 1965 in Croydon, England

Mastered from original analog tapes by Bernie Grundman

An Evening With Ornette Coleman (Part 1) is taken from a 1965 concert at Fairfield Hall in Croydon, England. This album captures Coleman during a transitional period that showcases his experimentation with contemporary classical forms. The recordings have been released in various forms over the years, though the last US vinyl pressing is now more than 40 years old.

Presented as the first in a two part series, this reissue shines a new light on the fantastic recording from a world-renowned jazz great. This limited edition release was mastered from original tapes by Grammy Award winner Bernie Grundman, and pressed on 180-gram transparent pink vinyl at Pallas in Germany. Originally released exclusively for Record Store Day Black Friday 2016.
