Yeah thanks! I read that when it was first published and still have the text, though I had forgotten how interesting it is. The magazine (Inrockuptibles) also contains an account of Derrida's performance with Coleman, which was booed by the audience. Derrida noted afterwards that jazz audiences who claim to enjoy the sound of surprise don't care too much to be surprised. His participation, in which he read while Coleman noodled, was unannounced.

Jacques Derrida interviews Ornette Coleman. What could go wrong?

Actually, some of this is surprisingly lucid. Some of it not so much. But always fascinating.
