Happy Birthday to Ornette Coleman! Coleman was an alto saxophonist who helped push the boundaries of what jazz could be in the late 60s. His album, "The Shape of Jazz to Come" is a quintessential "free" jazz album, free from strict forms and melodies from the bebop era of the 40s and 50s. Here's to you, Ornette Coleman!
Definitely a highlight from the most recent IC Jazz Ensemble concert! “Bourbon Street Parade” played just like how they’d play it down in New Orleans!
Here’s a drum solo from JJ to celebrate 500 likes on Facebook! Thanks so much for the support!

McCoy Tyner, Groundbreaking Pianist Of 20th Century Jazz, Dies At 81 An innovative member of the classic John Coltrane Quartet, few musicians have ever exerted as much influence as a sideman, but Tyner also had a long and consequential career leading bands of his own.
