To Whom Who Keeps a Record

January 01, 1970

To Whom Who Keeps a Record is an album credited to jazz composer and saxophonist Ornette Coleman, originally released by the Japanese subsidiary Warner Pioneer of Warner Bros. Records in 1975. The album, which was assembled by Atlantic producer İlhan Mimaroğlu without Coleman's input, comprises outtakes from Atlantic Records recording sessions of 1959 and 1960 for Change of the Century and This Is Our Music.[1] Sessions for "Music Always" took place at Radio Recorders in Hollywood, California with Billy Higgins on drums; all others took place at Atlantic Studios in New York City with drummer Ed Blackwell. (Blackwell replaced Higgins shortly before the Coleman group's 1960 engagement at the Five Spot Café after Higgins encountered cabaret card difficulties in New York.[2])

In a review for All About Jazz, Kurt Gottschalk wrote: "this collection is hardly the mismatched-socks drawer that so many 'rarities' collections are. Nor is it an epiphany. It casts no unexpected light on the man, the aesthetic or the times. It is simply another great record... It stands up to Coleman's other work of the time, which means it stands up to the greatest records in the jazz canon. What more could be said?"[7] David Was, in an article for NPR Music, commented that the recordings "sound as fresh and startling today as they must have in 1959 and '60, when they were recorded."[8] Writing for The Austin Chronicle, Jay Trachtenberg called the album "marvelous," and remarked: "Upon its release, this disturbing and challenging 'free jazz' jolted the jazz establishment to its core. Almost 50 years later, the musical world has finally caught up with once jarring tunes like 'To Us' and 'Motive for Its Use,' which now sound practically mainstream... This is the music that started it all."[9]
