RIP Ornette Coleman
    #21792342 - 06/11/15 09:46 AM (8 years, 7 months ago)

Today a jazz legend has passed: Ornette Coleman, arguably the father of free jazz. He was 85.

http://pitchfork.com/news/59916-ornette-coleman-has-died/

Damn shame, Ornette was an insanely talented dude. His music is admittedly not for everyone but if you can get into largely unstructured, extremely expressive improvisational music, you'd probably find a lot to appreciate in his records.





Any fans?

I am a fan and have a few records. Quite enjoy his work/harmonies with Don Cherry. From my understanding, a lot of the greats looked up to him. This is opinion but I feel he was in the place where Coltrane and Davis (to an extent, before he went fully into electrofunk) wanted to go.

Here's a short video you might like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAYHoKzx7do

and a comment I read from that video:

Quote:

I am forever grateful to Mr. Ornette Coleman because he opened my mind, eyes and ears to not only music but to all things in life.  When I first heard him back in the early 60's, I quickly dismissed what I heard as noise and thought he was a delusional wannabe jazz musician making god awful noises with his toy like plastic alto sax. But for some mysterious reason, I kept finding myself being drawn back and wanting to hear more. As hard as I consciously tried, I could not shake Ornette Coleman from my inner soul.  I fought it and fought it, but like the Cole Porter song, it got under my skin and has stayed there forever.  RIP Mr. Coleman and thank you.

Yes, a lot of his 50s-60s work with Don Cherry is really phenomenal. Glad to see another fan, welcome to the Shroomery btw :thumbup:
