UCLA Live presents free jazz at its finest with Ornette Coleman, peerless saxophonist and Pulitzer Prize winner on stage in Royce Hall Wednesday Nov. 3 at 8 p.m.
Since the late 1950s, when he burst on the New York jazz scene with his legendary engagement at the Five Spot, Coleman has been teaching the world new ways of listening to music. His revolutionary musical ideas have been controversial, but today his enormous contribution to modern music is recognized throughout the world.
"Coleman continues to play with the same pungent tones, incredible fluidity and remarkable vocalizations that have marked his career since his early days.”
- Jazz Times
At the 2009 Festival International de Jazz de Montréal, Coleman became the 16th person to receive the prestigious Miles Davis Award, instituted to honor an international jazz musician for his or her complete body of work and influence.
Joining him on stage at UCLA Live are his son Denardo Coleman on drums and Tony Falanga on bass.
