Search & Download Videos:






Grabación de la televisión italiana (Schegge, Rai 3) del cuarteto de Ornette Coleman en 1974. El tema que interpretan es "School Work", melodía recurrente de Ornette que más tarde volvería a aparecer como "The Good Life" en su obra sinfónica Skies Of America (1972) y que finalmente se convertiría en el núcleo de Dancing in Your Head (1973). A la guitarra James "Blood" Ulmer, Ornette empezaba en esta época a experimentar con nuevas configuraciones del cuarteto introduciendo instrumentos eléctricos. La cinta presenta a Coleman en el periodo de transición y experimentación en que se formó Prime Time. Ornette Coleman: saxo ; James Ulmer: guitarra ; Sirone: bajo; Billy Higgins: batería

  1. Lancelot Says:
    and the song is Theme from a Symphony from Dancing in Your Head
  2. Carina Says:
    haha Ornette is sick. his band is all on a shitload of dope though, but it's amusing. Blood needs to tune up and turn down....
  3. Brionne Says:
    To all who make comparisons with other jazz musicians: Ornette doesn't play jazz. OK? He calls his musical theory harmolodics. Stop talking if you don't know shit about him. And why do some people feel the need to coin terms on everything, or group everything together? Take it for what it is, dipshits! If you don't like it.... don't listen

    bird duke miles coltrane basie ayler sun ra webster and so on and ornette . they've all got one thing in common , they're geniuses ! all other talk is bullshit .
  5. KUWANYAMTIWA Says:
    Pointless arguements over the nature of free jazz... ON THE INTERNET! Just when i thought it couldnt get any sadder
  6. Anant Says:
    I was reading some of the comments left by viewers. Those of you that do not feel this style of Jazz, you have to realize that the point of Free Jazz is to be "non-conforming." This style is not supposed to fit in the parameter of Coltrane, Parker, Davis, Rollins or the other kats from Bebop and Rebop. You take each musician as their own style and appreciate it for that. In my opinion, Coleman is not overrated at all, he is an extremely tight kat and is the leader of the Free Jazz arena...
  7. Ramzi Says:
    Thanks for setting all of us straight. I foolishly thought I enjoyed Ornette's music, plus hundreds of other jazz musicians from past 60 years, until you showed me the error of my ways! Thanks again.
  8. Maurine Says:
    I really fee sorry for you dude. And I don't think you really appreciate jazz.....
  9. Matro Says:
    correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Ornette has ever done drugs.
  10. Ivan Says:
    well, seeing as ornette's whole concept was about the liberation of 'sidemen' and the equality of all group members, perhaps you might want to rethink that view
  11. Yanisin Says:
    I agree with you I dont think they were looking for a perfect conventional tone quality, I think they were trying to move away from all the stuff before(20's-60's) and create new sounds, I like the off kilter feeling that comes from not haveing everything in exact balance, I like the old stuf and this as well, if they are off pitch a bit I think it is on purpose, you know makeing use of quartertones, and pitches that dont fallexactly within standard tunning etc..
  12. NIOBE Says:
    I disagree with the previous comment
  13. Rawls Says:
    If you compare this to Charlie Parker live stuff or unofficial recordings in the forties, or if you compare this to the big band stuff back then: Ellington, Basie, Dorsey brothers, Miller, etc. etc.; this stuff sucks. Ornette is one of the most overrated jazz musicians alive. Man, all I hear are drugs! The best stuff was all before 1950, unless were talking about guys like Miles Davis, Rollins, and Roach etc. And Ornette would agree with me. Ornette is nothing compared to BIRD. Listen and learn.
  14. DIXIE Says:
    That drummer's like..You ain't dancein' in MY head Ornette..haHA
  15. NUDAR Says:
    I think it is on purpose. Or do you think these guys wouldn't notice it?!? Also, personaly i like it, it gives a nice sense of discomfort troughout, if you know what i mean. Althow i agree that, for accompaniment, the guitar is too loud.
  16. ITZIK Says:
    the guitarist sucks... thats the thing with the ornette stuff with a guitar player - they are always sort of shit in my opinion - exception: james blood ulmer's tales of captain black obviously.
  17. Tremayne Says:
    the guitar sounds out of tune, this session must have been like a miserable downer for the whole gang. except for the guitarist that might have lost his hearing temporarily.
  18. Katina Says:
    the guitar sounds a bit loud when he's comping, I'm a guitar player myself so I don't mind, but generally when your comping your supporting the soloist, not standing out
  19. Kassie Says:
    When this album came out I played this song over and over. Loved it. Still do. Audio isn't great on this video though, but it's cool seeing Ornette, Higgins, Ulmer and Sirone.
  20. PENINAH Says:
    is there any more of this performance?
  21. Tom Says:
    Man, auf welchem Trip ist eigentlich Sirone? Da war doch kein Heroin mit im Spiel? Na wenn schon, WAHNSINNSMUCKE. Und die ganze Atmosphäre, whow!!!
  22. CAMPBELL Says:
    WICKED description!!! Works for me....I didn't HAVE a very sturdy image of Ornette Coleman before...I THINK..I shall be adopting yours..for the time being..many many thanks!
  23. Braw)eigh Says:
    To me, Ornette coleman is sometimes very funny, sometimes very evil, sometimes just talking into a saxophone.
  24. Hillocke Says:
    Albert Ayler
  25. Ayashe Says:
