Title: One of Ornette's Worst
Review: I am huge fan of Ornette Coleman and own most of his albums. Tone Dialing is an attempt to break away from the acousic sound he used for so long and incorporate hip-hop and amplified instruments. He shoots and misses. His plastic horn is an afterthought behind the electric bass and heavy drums. And the reverb he uses is annoying. Simply, the group isn't nearly as good as his earlier groups. I would recommend The Shape of Jazz to Come, Change of the Century, or At the Golden Circle, anything but this one.
