referencing Virgin Beauty (CD, Album) RK 44301
My personal favorite Ornette album. It seems at first listen like one of those "sellout records" that washed-up Anglophone rock stars made in the eighties, but it's tougher and more lovingly crafted than that. Evidence is the dozens of little arrangement touch-ups that beautify the themes. And I don't know much about jazz improvisations but I do know that I appreciate the bluegrass-y bass run in "Happy Hour."
