Texas Performing Arts celebrates the legendary Pulitzer Prize winning saxophonist/composer’s 80th birthday with a command performance. One of the great innovators in jazz, Ornette Coleman has played a seminal role in American music. Identified with the free-jazz movement of the 1960s, Fort Worth-born Coleman belongs to that rare breed of artists/thinkers whose influence extends far beyond the realm of their chosen medium. Performing with Coleman at this engagement is Denardo Coleman, drums; Tony Falanga, acoustic bass; and Al MacDowell, electric bass. Always putting his remarkable virtuosity at the service of melody and emotion, Coleman continues to have a powerful impact on the color and sound of music as well as how musicians play, improvise, and compose — and how music lovers listen. “One of the last truly imposing figures from a generation of jazz players that was full of them.” NEW YORK TIMES
