Ornette Coleman Quotes



Did you know about Ornette Coleman?

Electric guitars were prominent but the music was at heart rather similar to his earlier work. A number of bassists and drummers (including Haden Jimmy Garrison and Elvin Jones) appeared and Dewey Redman joined the group usually on tenor saxophone. I think he's jiving baby.
