Overview
Dedication To Poets And Writers is a reissue of one of Ornette Coleman’s lesser-known yet profoundly expressive works, originally recorded as an exploration of tone, texture, and lyrical improvisation. Released in Germany in 1990 under the Magic Music label, this unofficial CD edition captures Coleman’s radical free-jazz spirit through four expansive compositions that challenge the conventions of harmony and structure.
The album reflects Coleman’s tribute to literary minds — poets and writers who, like him, redefined creative boundaries. Backed by a chamber-like ensemble of strings and percussion, Coleman’s saxophone voice flows with emotion and abstraction, blurring the line between classical structure and jazz freedom.
