[CeleryMan3]

I saw O. Coleman in SF.

I might not have "enjoyed" it on a harmonic level, but intellectually, I appreciated what he was doing. Breaking the walls that have restricted music.

The church used to forbid certain intervals. As far as I can tell, music has evolved over time dissonance has become more and more accepted, with the induction of triads to the Coltrane changes. What is considered harmonically acceptable is being pushed and stretched, less restricted. Free.

Polymodal, microtonal, atonal.

[kh7955]

you have to be open minded to be able to appreciate it, just like modern art or grindcore

[kh7955]

free form jazz=blown away

[geeksterz]

they must have been high as fuck

[xxxrollingrockxxx2]

and old people say dubstep is a bunch of noise

[NipplesMagee]

Patrick Star brought me here.

[Sparks217]

This music makes me feel like I'm watching Hey Arnold.

[miller2235]

this is what band practice sounds liek sometimes...

[saxonthebeach96]

sounds like a bunch of cats walking over instruments and scraping there claws over a blackboard.

[bobjazz11]

@saxonthebeach96

I bet you're a big Harry Potter fan!

[therandomexample]

@bobjazz11 What in hell does that have to do with it?

[saxonthebeach96]

@bobjazz11 OMG HOW DID YOU KNOW!!!

[SpartanLaserCanon]

Free form jazz = most metal today x)))))------

[nevernateofkamal]

i like how he adjusts the tuning right after he starts playing. like that matters...

[ironkarl61]

starting @ 6:40 nice quotation of The Rite of Spring

[Jamsessionroom1337]

Why is john witherspoon playing trumpet and violin?

[ArcaneThingOfBeauty]

Thanks to Spongebob, I have acquired a taste for free-form jazz :D

[Mrcoolz3000]

@ArcaneThingOfBeauty Haven't we all?

[Miscione9]

i have now developed a taste for free form jazz

[s3anz2]

It sounds like an orchestra fell down a staircase. But it's sooo free mannnnnn

[gummipo]

Open this in 3 tabs at the same time, its alot cheaper then drugs.

[guynamedoliver]

and then everyone died.

[MrToastOmnomnom]

Jazz, the government's enemy.

[G0DatC0D]

now you must develop a taste for free form jazz...

[chaniejbernard]

I really believe 2 drum set players is very unnecessary, especially in this genre of music lol

[angrygrunt]

@chaniejbernard haha drum set player

[Fredwill200]

Thats Fred Williams on Bass & James Blood Ulmer on Guitar

[confrontjames]

Goddamn awesome. 

[VicodinAddicted]

Absolute liberty of expression, i love it. It sounds so abstract and a bit absurd, but that's why i like it. Bravo!!

[Fredwill200]

Its not only the song that counts. Its the modulation that the performers are playing that is creating a new sound, rather than a new II V I song..Also, its not Charlie on guitar, it is James Blood Ulmer, and the bassist is me Fred Williams....You can see me again on youtube search for "Fred Williams Bassist"

[rougered1]

two guitarist, james blood ulmer and bern nix

[BibiAudiofil]

The guy on the guitar looks like James Blood Ulmer to me

[fugatala]

The guitarist are Bern Nix and James Ulmer, Charlie Ellerbee on this tour was not involved.

[fugatala]

The guitarist are Bern Nix and James Ulmer, Charlie Ellerbee on this tour was not involved.

[fanniemaeflippers]

Wow, that vio is badass!! And backwards to boot!

[amymofo]

Amazing.

Could anyone identify for me which guitarist is Nix and which one is Ellerbee? I would really appreciate it.

[gotmeagrape]

is this what they play in heaven? i can die now

[ssorva]

can barely hear the drum :(

[DonRua]

Canadian Jazz Legend once told me, "Sitting in the living room with radio on since morning, tap dripping, watching TV while paying attention to the fat lady fight next door, all of a sudden the fridge kicks in and a semi runs by outside shaking/rattling everything .... nothing is wrong. Everything is in harmony. Just like a typical sunday afternoon at the apartment. He further stated that there was absolutely nothing wrong to be on the "outside".

[egybardeneke]

It's not about music. It's about freedom. Everyone does the thing that they want, nobody tells anyone what they must do, nobody hurts the other, maybe it sounds chaotic but they are a little society and they are happy and free. This music makes me feel like I'm watching a big city's life from a bus stop and the time runs faster.

[TheMrFrankenstein]

Thanks for giving me a deeper insight into this genre.

[BennyGaberMusic]

@egybardeneke of course it's about the music, don't ever say the contrairy. It's ALWAYS about the MUSIC

[abbeltuinstra]

@egybardeneke then why doesn't the audience feel free to run away

[DamorK90]

Beautiful and realy free music. Love it

[TheMrFrankenstein]

It sounds like a 4 year old destroying a violin while his friends take a shot at all the other instruments.

[urbanlegend61]

@TheMrFrankenstein Glad to see you're accurate interpretation of the music. That's how Ornette wanted it. FREEDOM BABY

[ReberBlopp]

it sounds like that he could not even play this instrument :D

[Schlengge]

Wow this is real music. You can really feel the spirit of jazz!

[TheMrFrankenstein]

I hope you're being sarcastic. This is terrible. NOISE.

[Neidhardt84]

So, what´s not terrible? Kenny G?

[mattman2712]

im pretty sure this is beyond free jazz .... this is just horse shit!

[shivabala9]

That's James Blood Ulmer on guitar.......
