Ornette 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.
