I love Ornette's commentary on everything and anything. He has this oblique and brilliant logic to almost anything he says; it's like out in left field yet exactly correct.

I particularly like his comments about Mingus, especially in light of the nasty stuff Mingus said about him; he is pointing out, contrary to Mingus' belief,  that 'free' jazz is not just a matter of abandoning form or ignoring immediate precedent but of redirecting form.

So, "All Blues" would actually be "So What", right?

Thanks for posting, very interesting read for sure!
