Crisis is a live album by the American jazz saxophonist and composer Ornette Coleman recorded at New York University in 1969 and released on the Impulse! label. In 2017, Real Gone Music reissued Crisis on CD as part of a compilation that also included Ornette at 12. Reception Brian Olewnick's AllMusic review awarded the album 4½ stars and stated: "Crisis somehow lacks the reputation of the revolutionary Coleman albums from early in his career, but on purely musical grounds it ranks among his most satisfying works".
