Tones, Shapes & Colors is the debut live album by the American jazz saxophonist Joe Lovano recorded in 1985 and released on the Italian Soul Note label.[1]
Reception
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars stating "None of the tunes are simple or based on the chords of standards, but although they did not catch on, the interplay by the musicians, the excellent pacing of tempos and moods, and the consistently satisfying solos make this a set worth searching for".[2]
