It's not for nothing we named our son August Ornette! (who, consequently, shares his first birthday with Mr. Cecil Taylor next week!)

:tup :tup

Great!

One of the leading avantgarde musicians in my hometown Vienna (Fritz Novotny, founder and leader of the "Reform Art Unit" and a "New Thing Artist" since 1959) also named his son "Ornette".

Ornette Coleman is one of my favourites. Love everything he did.

The before mentioned album "Ornette at 12" is great. I´m glad I have the LP, and the other Impulse "Crisis" also.

Honestly, I'm surprised to find a couple of fans of his trumpet playing. I can deal with it, to be sure, but the signature sound is the alto.

The man has created some great music. When I first read about him (and had not yet heard him), I thought he would be rather inaccessible. But that is not that case at all. He is very engaging on just about everything, even on Free Jazz (the record).

And you try to tell that to the kids today - and they just don't believe you :D

As far as I'm concerned Ornette can do whatever he wants.

Yep. FWIW one of the first Ornette albums I got, and the first one I really listened to, was Golden Circle Vol 2, so I became instantly accustomed to it rather than opposed to it in any way.
