Ornette Coalman (Ornette Coleman) is an avante garde jazz saxaphone player. He started off in the jazz dens in midtown Manhattan in the late 50's. One of the most memerable of these "dens" was the 5 spot, which had an open minded air and was often visited by the poets of the time. Ornette's most famous quartets consisted of Ornette on alto, Don Cherry on trumpet, Edward Blackwell on drums and Charlie Haden on the bass. The concept of Ornette's music was freedom. He prefered not to stack to the constraints of chords or charts and instead, made up his own chords as he played. The most spectacular thing about the Ornette Coleman quartet (consisting of the aforementioned musicians) is that they would make up the chords as they played, depending on what each musician was playing. A typical Ornette tune from that time would start and end by the book; that is to say, note for note and with the chords written on the chart. As soon as the head of the tune was done, who knows where the song would go. Each successive chord was conceived at the time until the song ended (the tail), which was note for note as it was written on the chart. Some albums I highly recommend by Ornette: Something Else!, Tomorrow is the Question, and Change of the Century.
