Singer/songwriter Joe Henry tells Gail Worley that he considers himself a very lucky man, and after hearing about his work with Ornette Coleman, sipping martinis with Bob Dylan, and having his sister-in-law record one of his songs (maybe you've heard of her -- she's called Madonna), it's hard to argue.
... own terms. Sometimes it's dodgier than other times trying to get that accomplished. I tell you, when I was in the studio working on this record with Ornette Coleman, I was thinking "How can I think I'm not where I'm supposed to be?" Yeah, you've collaborated with some tremendous talents. I've been really ...

Mercury Rev overcame blizzards, injuries, and the death of their planned collaborator to create their cinematic new album, All Is Dream. Gail Worley reviews the ups and downs with guitarist Sean "Grasshopper" Mackiowiak.
CREATING THE SOUNDTRACK FOR THE MOVIES IN YOUR HEAD: AN INTERVIEW WITH SEAN "GRASSHOPPER" MACKIOWIAK OF MERCURY REV by Gail Worley Life imitates art, or so they say. And as the story of a musician's random mugging -- wrong place, wrong time -- unfolds, it's almost no surprise that it unfolds like a ...

July 1999 :: Music T-Z :: Television (James Mann)
... . No "jam" band on earth could match the pure spontaneous genius of this music -- it reminds you of no other rock band before or since -- more as if Ornette Coleman put down his sax and picked up a Stratocaster. Far from being a art-rock wank fest, this music is punk to its very core. Listen to the ...

March 1998 :: Music A-C :: Albert Ayler (Tom Minarchic)
... to start what was one of the most misunderstood, innovative careers in jazz history. With the use of screeches, split-tones, and heavy vibrato, like Ornette Coleman and John Coltrane before him, Ayler helped define what free-jazz was. With trumpeter Don Cherry, Ayler released albums that would serve ...

March 2000 :: Ink Spots :: DJ Spooky (Nirav Soni)
... the way you do things? Yes and no. I mean I'm really influenced by John Cage and his notion of music as total text, but I'm also really into Ornette Coleman. I'd say that the four composers who have been most influential on me are Grandmaster Flash, Afrika Bambataa, John Cage, and Ornette Coleman, but ...

Version Soul (Atavistic) and Fugues And Flowers (Squealer). Review by Matthew Aurealis.
... sense of historical reference. For instance, the opening track, "Zodiac Attack," begins with a drum beat easily echoing Billy Higgins' playing on Ornette Coleman's The Shape of Jazz to Come, if that helps to make the picture a bit clearer. The Gold Sparkle Band seems to reference the work of Ornette ...

... "Motor City Fugue" the GSB infuse the song with a vitality, which prevents it from feeling dull and limpid. Charles Waters and Roger Ruzow sound like Ornette Coleman and Don Cherry, respectively, because they have the wonderful rapport that Coleman and Cherry did. There's a hearty dollop of Coleman's ...

Acoustic Machine (Atavistic). Review by Daniel L. Mitchell.
THE VANDERMARK 5 ACOUSTIC MACHINE Atavistic The Vandermark 5 play free jazz in the vein of Ornette Coleman's craziest stuff at times, while at others playing soft, Kind Of Blue-style jazz. About half of Acoustic Machine is very spastic and crazy, not the kind of jazz one listens to when looking to ...

... on impact, but much easier to pallet than a giant mash-up. The first 1000 copies of this CD come with a bonus disc that has covers of tunes by Ornette Coleman, Anthony Braxton, Sun Ra, Eric Dolphy, and Cecil Taylor. I've seen consistency, and its name is the Vandermark 5. Spaceways Incorporated sees ...
