Ornette Coleman

Much anticipated, the free-jazz great at one point cancelled his appearance at the Moers,Germany Festival in 2011, but appeared after all to a rapturous welcome. Link to Ken Waxman's review from the home page of Jazzword.

Update: Ornette Coleman died in NYC on June 11, 2015. He was 85.
