ISBN: 9780306805806.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrnette Coleman is one of the great architects of jazz. Like Louis Armstrong and Charlie Parker, he changed the way we listen. His soaring, cascading, note-rich \"free\" improvisations added a new vocabulary to the alto saxophone; and his \"harmolodic\" compositions, shattering Western harmonic and rhythmic conventions, gave jazz a new musical language. This is a full-length biography of the jazz legend, making extensive use of previously unpublished interviews and detailed musical examples that further illustrate the text. It is a compelling portrait of a living legend and a lively history of postwar jazz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Da Capo Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44989379641397,"sku":"ByrdShop_0306805804","price":225.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780306805806_be786dba-32ce-4ecb-bd9f-45b5311090f2.jpg?v=1778903813","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/ornette-coleman-9780306805806","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
