Ornette Coleman is sick.

@bjazzer795 ...and sickness will surely take the mind, where minds can't usually go.

So who will come on this Amazing Journey; The Adventure.

Who will walk through the mirror door?

I do not agree with Albert Murray. You can and should embrace entropy. For a good cultural reference on why, see Sun Ra's movie about "Jazz is Dead". Sun Ra - Cry of Jazz (2004)

All in all a very good documentary. Thanks!

When the Free Jazz album came out I was living in Europe. I'd read about Coleman so I bought the LP. I still have it and, occasionally, play it to assure myself how bad it is.

I've always loved Coleman's music and am happy to learn about the backgrounds etc. this way. Thanks

@edcerc I respect your opinion. It's just that I don't 'feel' this kind of musical expression at all.
