    About Ornette Coleman Quartet

    The Ornette Coleman Quartet, led by the groundbreaking saxophonist Ornette Coleman, is celebrated for revolutionizing jazz in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Born in Fort Worth, Texas, Coleman's innovative approach to music was evident from his early days, even leading to his dismissal from high school band for improvising during a performance. The quartet, featuring Coleman on saxophone, Don Cherry on pocket trumpet, Charlie Haden on bass, and Billy Higgins or Ed Blackwell on drums, challenged traditional jazz structures. Their seminal album "The Shape of Jazz to Come" (1959) introduced a new form of free jazz, emphasizing melody, rhythm, and harmonic innovation over conventional chord changes. The group's performances and recordings, including "Change of the Century" (1960) and "Free Jazz" (1960), sparked debates and inspired generations of musicians. Coleman's unique sound and visionary compositions earned him numerous accolades, including a MacArthur "Genius" Fellowship, Grammy, and Pulitzer Prize for Music, cementing his legacy as one of jazz's most influential figures.
