T0922078446It has been a long five years since the jazz legend and musical iconoclast Ornette Coleman has played to London audiences. Now the man who changed forever the way all people, both musicians and music lovers alike, view the art of improvisation, returns to London with his trio, some very special guests and a whole new exploration of music. Ornette Coleman has long been fascinated by the music of other cultures and in this special concert he combines jazz with influences of Indian and Iranian music and song. Coleman is a man consciously dealing with the concept of tomorrow, the future, and the future sound of music. Tonight's performance is the UK premiere of Global Expressions, an ongoing project first performed to an audience at the Umbria Jazz Festival in 1998 and then at New York's Bell Atlantic Jazz Festival in June 2000.Performer Ornette Coleman Trio. Performer Denardo Coleman. Performer Charnett Moffett. | |
