Ornette Coleman – The Territory and the Adventure {written by Maria Golia (2020) [pdf 311 pages]

 

 

 

"There are lots of fascinating anecdotes, stories, and previously unpublished photographs in Golia’s book. The author, who met Coleman in his hometown of Fort Worth, at the Caravan Of Dreams performing arts center, described the musician as 'unassuming and soft spoken.' She has compiled a detailed, interesting story of his career. Among the nuggets detailed are his appearance on Saturday Night Live in April 1979, how he got to know the writer William S. Burroughs, the story of his action-packed tour of Africa, how he became a noted painter, and the tales of his friendships with celebrities such as Yoko Ono and Patti Smith." -- Martin Chilton ― uDiscover Music
