Ornette Coleman - Thank you for your music He was 85 - seems he was reasonably healthy for most of his life up to his death. He has CHANGED the way we perceive Music (not only Jazz). He had a real character - we call it deep.
I am lost for words still, but I don't think I would have been on this blog without Ornette and his groups bringing me into free jazz. Maybe he can get a decent record deal in heaven.
very sad news indeed. deepest thanks to ornette for all of the beautiful music he has given the world. i got to see ornette play a trio show with billy higgins and charlie haden in LA in 1990. don cherry was unable to take part due to a recent surgery. needless to say the music was beautiful and i was honored to be there. i will be listening to live at the caravan of dreams and body meta today. peace all! mikeL
NO WAY! I don't believe it. Ornette is gone. Oh my - the world has lost a grand soul!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't prepared for it, never could have been, there will be one color less from today.
ReplyDeleteI'll be playing Lonely Woman all day. Peace to you, Mr. Coleman.
