Whew. After a couple hours with a broken Internet connection, we're back.
The most important issue I had during the outage was determining Ornette Coleman's first album.
Something Else!!!! (sometimes called Something Else!!!! The Music of Ornette Coleman) is the 1958 debut album by jazz saxophonist Ornette Coleman. According to All Music, the album "shook up the jazz world", revitalizing the union of blues and jazz and restoring "blues to their 'classic' beginnings in African music".
Ok, anything that accomplishes all that deserves four exclamation points in the title.
by the way, those born before ornette coleman's debut may be ok regarding swine flu. unfortunately, this late boomer just missed possible immunity. on the other hand, i heard some great jazz while still in the crib.
