This 1971 collection captures Coleman and his trio in a period of intense exploration, expanding on the harmolodic principles he had been developing. The album features a blend of Coleman's challenging compositions and moments of surprising melodicism.
- "Twins" was recorded in 1971, the same year Coleman released "Science Fiction" and just before his work with the electric band Prime Time.
- The album was released on Coleman's own Black Sheep Music label, a venture he used for several of his recordings in the early 1970s.
- "Twins" was reissued in 1979 on Impulse! Records.
Ornette Coleman was a pioneering composer and saxophonist from Fort Worth, Texas, best known for his leadership in the free jazz movement of the 1960s. At the time of "Twins," Coleman was exploring electric instrumentation and broader musical structures beyond his earlier acoustic work.
