Theme From a Symphony


Ornette Coleman dabbled in just about every genre of music. Here, performed live and shared on Youtube for posterity, someone has shared a funky number from Coleman's Dancing In Your Head. At first, one would think Coleman's singular style could not work in funk, but Coleman found a way, even pulling out his violin for a brief solo. Very simple yet effective, and given funk's origin in blues, Colemand and Prime Time were not really out of their element entirely.
