nprmusic: This is the freedom that played colors off the canvas, as Coleman began not just a new shape of jazz, but the new shape of music to come. Happy birthday, Ornette Coleman! 82 isn’t what media organizations would call a “landmark” year, but we’re happy for every day that we have Coleman’s dizzyingly complicated, yet soulful jazz. Celebrate the Pulitzer Prize-winning saxophonist with a five-song list. Ornette Coleman’s Birthday!
