 Ornette Coleman Ornette Coleman is one of the true jazz innovators, whose sound is instantly recognizable and unquestionably unique. Coleman's work has ranged from dissonance and atonality to liberal use of electronic accompaniment in his ensembles, as well as the engagement of various ethnic influences and elements from around the globe. While experimenting with time and tone, his strong blues root is always evident. Ornette Coleman will perform on Sunday, November 8th, 8:00 p.m. at Louise M. Davies Symphony Hall, 201 Van Ness Avenue (at Grove Street) in San Francisco. The ensemble for this performance will feature Ornette Coleman on alto saxophone, violin and trumpet; Al MacDowell on electric bass; Anthony Falanga on acoustic bass; and Denardo Coleman on drums. |
