Ornette Coleman - 30th Annual San Francisco Jazz Festival
Friday, Nov 9, 2012 8:00p
Davies Symphony Hall
San Francisco,
CA
More than 50 years after Ornette Coleman changed the course of music with The Shape of Jazz to Come, the avant-garde patriarch remains an elusive genius whose work defies neat categories. While he coined the term “free jazz” with his classic 1960 double quartet album Free Jazz: A Collective Improvisation, he’s a composer of expansive ambition whose tunes have become essential touchstones in the jazz canon.
