"Free Jazz pt. 1"

S.T.H.O.L.T.B.I.D
(songs to hear one last time before i die)
-by ornette coleman
I listened to six albums by this famous jazz experimentalist. Then i listened to them again. Then a third time. And still, nothing sounded "right". I couldn't make whatever he was getting at, sound good.
No scales? No chords?
EXCEPT...
For this track. It clicked into place, and became one of those rare songs that's just pure listening joy.
Go figure.
