ORNETTE COLEMAN - "Harlem's Manhattan" 1961 (1999) APE (image+.cue), lossless

Notable for the inclusion of the opening track "Proof Readers," Harlem's Manhattan showcases the Ornette Coleman band lineup of Don Cherry, Ed Blackwell, and either Scott LaFaro on bass -- his style is so distinctive you can hear him on the middle portion of the disc -- and Jimmy Garrison. These recordings are stellar both in presentation as well as musicianship. LaFaro's playing on "Check Up" and "W.R.U." offers an incredible insight into these sides as LaFaro completely understood the circular notion of rhythm in Coleman's early work.
