Turnaround (1959). Ornette Coleman /marian, ornette, orrin et al/

Amidst all the social and political commentary this week surrounding the "all-white" Yoshi's commemorative jazz CD, Orrin Keepnews makes a harsh aesthetic judgment:

With all due respect to the venerable Marian McPartland, whom I love and have always loved, there's nobody on that record of major current importance," said Keepnews. "The club put out an anniversary record that was thoughtless and not very well put together. They limited themselves to material recorded live at the club. You have a half-dozen things here that don't have the making of a significant or representative record, regardless of what color anybody is.'
