Ornette Coleman's career encompassed the glory years of jazz and
the American avant-garde. Born in segregated Fort Worth, Texas,
during the Great Depression, the African American composer and
musician was the zeitgeist incarnate. Steeped in the Texas blues
tradition, Ornette and jazz grew up together, as the brassy blare
of big band swing gave way to bebop, a faster music for a faster,
post-war world. At the dawn of the Space Age and New York's 1960s
counterculture, his music gave voice to the moment. Lauded by some,
maligned by many, he forged a breakaway art sometimes called `the
new thing' or `free jazz'. Featuring previously unpublished
photographs of Ornette and his contemporaries, this is the
compelling story of one of America's most adventurous musicians and
the sound of a changing world.
