In a surprise move with little publicity or fanfare New Vocabulary a new collaboration by free jazz icon Ornette Coleman, now 84, the man who changed the face of jazz irrevocably in the 1950s inventing a new language for the music, has been released in the States via System Dialling Records.
Performing with Antibalas trumpeter Jordan McLean, ex-Miles keyboardist Adam Holzman (Tutu, Live Around the World etc) on piano, and drummer Amir Ziv, tracks apparently recorded in 2009 are ‘Baby Food’, ‘Sound Chemistry,’ ‘Alphabet,’ ‘Bleeding,’ ‘If It Takes A Hatchet,’ ‘Value and Knowledge,’ ‘Population,’ ‘Wife Life,’ ‘The idea Has No Destiny,’ ‘H20,’ ‘What's Hotter Than The Sun,’ and ‘Gold is God’s Sex.’ New Vocabulary is Coleman’s first new album release since Sound Grammar nine years ago.
