Ornette Coleman Group

Ornette Coleman, The shape of Jazz to come, taught by Yaniv Nachum

Saxophonist Ornette Coleman is indisputably one of the most important figures in the avant-garde and what became known as 'free jazz'. Coleman's approach to improvisation and composition gave jazz new sounds, new colors and a new attitude.

This ensemble studies Coleman's approach to improvisation and composition and his use of timing and rhythm and then uses these findings in your own compositions. The material mainly comes from the 'Atlantic period'.
